Microscope Accessories and Replacement Parts
General accessories and parts 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 EMS Gold Aperture with 150 µm hole, 3 mm O.D., 0.12 mm thick
Advanced techniques of thin metal film application permits the apertures to retain a clean hole edge during prolonged beam exposure. Ultra-thin, half-micron design discourages contaminant accumulation and stabilizes astigmatic conditions to provide longer life. Conventional mechanical cleaning involving costly down-time is no longer necessary. Because the foil is ultra thin, care must be taken when handling the gold foil apertures.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Tripod Polisher Model 590, Kit for TEM
The Tripod Polisher is used to prepare accurately micro sizes of TEM and SEM samples. For TEM samples, the Tripod Polisher iis used to limit ion milling times to less than 15 minutes, and in some cases, has eliminated the need for ion milling. It can be used to prepare both plan-view and cross-sections from a variety of sample materials, such as ceramics, composites, metals, and geological specimens. It has limited ion milling requirements that reduce preferential thinning, radiation damage, and heating of the sample. No strong chemicals are used to prepare the specimen.
Electron Microscopy Sciences NIGHTSEA™ Eclipse MicroTent
The Eclipse MicroTent provides local darkness around conventional laboratory stereo microscopes that are using a fluorescence adapter. Fluorescence can be weak and can be difficult to see well if there is ambient light. The tent is ideal for sheilding microscopes on lab benches in shared spaces, near windows, or in other difficult-to-darken locations such as in the field. Easy access to the sample stage and the focus and zoom controls is maintained. It is designed for stereo microscopes but could potentially be used with many varieties of compound microscopes.
