Microscope Slides Cut from Sheet, Coverslips from a Blown Bubble
A microscope slide is a strip of plain glass about 75 × 25 mm and 1 mm thick with smoothed edges; a coverslip is a much thinner square that presses the specimen flat. Cut the slides from thin sheet and grind the edges; for coverslips, blow a thin bubble on a glass tube and cut flat pieces from it.
The picture: a tray of early 20th-century prepared slides under coverslips, museum of the Institut Pasteur de Lille.

When cold, break the bubble and pick the flattest pieces from its sides. Trim them to small squares with the cutter and check the thickness with the caliper; keep only even, thin pieces.

Slide size and edge finish are as Wikipedia gives them; the blown-bubble coverslips are our method. Blown coverslips vary in thickness: measure them, since the wrong thickness blurs high-power images.
