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 Microscope Graticule NE31 Horizontal, 21 mm, 0.5" with 100 divisions of 0.0005"
These scales are used for the measuring of lengths of specimen or distances between points on a variety of different shaped objects. By dividing the division of the chosen graticule by the magnification of the objective one obtains an approximate value that each division will represent on the stage. Horizontal micrometer scale.
Size: 21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences High Resolution Magnification Calibration Specimen 150-2DUTC for AFM
Model 150-2D is a very high resolution reference and traceable standards for magnification calibration of AFM, SEM, Auger, and FIB. It has a precision, holographic pattern that provides accurate calibration in the horizontal plane for very high resolution, nanometer-scale measurements.
The period is 144 nm pitch, two-dimensional array that is accurate to +/- 1 nm (calibration certificate will have actual pitch.) Surface: Aluminum bumps on Silicon, 4x3 mm die. Bump height (about 90 nm) and width (about 75 nm) are not calibrated.
For SEM an independent analytical lab has tested this specimen in a FE-SEM and found that the pattern was very uniform and the specimen was easy to image. No significant charging was observed in the voltage range 1-20 kV. This traceable, Certified Standard is a select grade.
