General Microscope Accessories
General accessories for use with microscopes. Products include lens oil, lens cleaner, slide dispensers, microscope covers, vessel holders, light cubes, and flow cells.
Many parts of your microscope can be updated or replaced including microscope lamps, lenses, and eyepieces. Replacement lamps, light sources, and power cords can extend the working lives of your microscopy equipment. New or replacement objectives and lenses can help increase the total magnification available with your microscope.
Add greater magnification or exchange your eyepiece for one with a reticule to more easily estimate the sizes of the items being viewed.
Replace or update your mechanical stage or clamps or add cell culture vessel adapters to facilitate specimen positioning.
Condensers can also be replaced, and conversion kits are available to add phase contrast, polarization, fluorescence, or other capabilities to your current system.
Some microscopes can be adapted for use with still or video cameras. Look for cameras and adapters designed for your specific microscope brand. Film and documentation-related products may also be available to support your record-keeping.
Temporary, semi-permanent, and more long-term slide storage options include:
- Slide racks that securely hold slides during staining procedures
- Folding fiberboard or plastic slide holders with horizontal indentations that keep microscope slides in place
- Slide storage boxes with vertical dividers; made from fiberboard, plastic, and wood and available in multiple sizes
- Slide holders and mailers for transporting slides safely
- Slide storage systems and cabinets for large quantities of slides or archival storage
Electron Microscopy Sciences Optical Resolution Grating with Ronchi Ruling 125 lines/ mm
Metallic grating pattern on glass squares with opaque lines approximately 50% of the pitch. Stock items are on 50 mm x 50 mm squares of glass 1.5 mm thick. The glass is B270 with refractive index of 1.52. Mutually perpendicular pairs produce a screen of square apertures. Vacuum deposited chrome gratings on glass substrate. Typically used for testing of resolution, field distortion and parfocal stability, but may be paired to provide interference patterns. 50mm x 50mm B270 glass. 125 lines per mm ruled over 30mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Cargille Immersion Oil Type LDF 1 OZ

Electron Microscopy Sciences Crossed Gauge Lines Microscope Graticule NE 54, Custom
Use as crossed lines, but for the measuring of distances between thelines. Greater accuracy can be obtained by locatng the specimen detail between the graticules gauge pair.
Size: Custom
Divisions: Two vertical lines 0.2 mm apart
Grainger Subbase Metal/Plastic 265/208/230V
The Grainger 36PT88 is a 3/4 HP, 115V, 1725 RPM, 56 frame, open drip proof, ball bearing, C-face motor. It has a 1.15 service factor and is thermally protected. The motor is totally enclosed, fan cooled (TEFC) with a cast iron frame. It has a NEMA standard C-face mounting with a standard shaft. The motor is designed for general purpose applications.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating Siemens Intermediate
For optimum viewing, fluorescent screens should be recoated regularly. Viewing screens are easily damaged by the electron beam, especially at high accelerating voltages where knock-on damage can be severe. A proprietary process where 1 to 2 micron particles of phosphor are deposited on the screen and produce the highest possible resolution.
Ted Pella Inc Carbon Type-B, 200 mesh, Copper approx. grid hole size: 97um
A Formvar film coated with a “heavier” layer of carbon. This is the strongest and most versatile support film we produce. It is stable in the EM under all operating conditions including high magnification with high beam intensity. The films can withstand vigorous specimen preparation techniques. If the carbon surface is hydrophobic, specimen suspensions can be applied to the Formvar surface.
Ted Pella Inc PELCO TEM Grid Holder Block for 25 TEM Grids
The PELCO TEM grid holder blocks are designed to hold a number of TEM grids when they need to cleaned in a glow discharge system such as the PELCO easiGlow system or if they need to be coated in a carbon coater such as the Cressington 208C high vacuum carbon coater. The TEM grid holder blocks are made of a solid piece of vacuum grade aluminum and have recessed positions for each grid with slots for easy loading and lifting the grids with fine pointed tweezers. Each position also has an additional centre recess to avoid any contact with the grid support area and the block. Handling of TEM grids with these blocks is much easier and more secure than using glass slides. The PELCO TEM grid holder blocks are available in two sizes: 25 grids and 81 grids. The larger size is ideal for use coating system with a larger chamber or with rotary-tilting stages.
