wells, cavities
Explanation:
I am not sure what type of alvéolos is used/needed to do whatever (your context does not tell) with oocytes(?). In other common assays, such as PCR, plates with hollows are said to have "wells" or, as Neil said, "cavities".
Maybe this helps a bit with your search.

PS: I am fairly sure that "alveoli" would not be used in English.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sorry about the little context, yes, we are talking about suppositories with ovulos here. Today I have asked my teacher for more information and she told me that the second part of the manual explains how these ovules(suppositories) were made. Thanks for your answers

neilmac: Turns out you were right about "blister" :)

  -> OK – that would make it "blisters"... The less context, the more room for speculations and error: I made it a plate with cavities used in the process of e.g. cryopreservation of egg cells :-))

hollow


Explanation:
DRAE: 2. m. Cavidad, hueco.
I'm thinking of a Petri type laboratory dish with depressions or hollows in it...

"The hollows are filled with 2,3ml distilled water at 25ºC, and the content is observed."

I imagine it might look something like this, which here is called a cavity tile plate:

But as I said in the discussion, we really need a bit more context.

The "cavities" there would correspond to the "alveoli" in the query.

NB: If they look anything like the upper photo in this link, I'd just call them holes.

NB: If Biomed's suggestion is right, they could be making "blister packs" of a product.

agree  Anne Schulz: There is a reasonable chance that "cavities" is what sebaspedlp is looking for :-)
