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 TEM Specimen Grinder Model 160
The Model 160 Specimen Grinder is an accurate and dependable tool for mechanically prethinning specimens in preparation for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It greatly reduces the time spent during the final preparation process of ion beam milling. The grinder accommodates up to 18 mm diameter specimens.
A graduated scale allows the specimen thickness to be easily and precisely controlled. The large diameter provides excellent stability. Specimens with uniform thickness and parallel sides are consistently produced because of the precise fit of the specimen platen into the grinder body. The grinder is heavy enough to provide sufficient grinding force on the specimen. The platen is transferable to the Model 200 Dimpling Grinder.
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Large Single Pin Mount Storage Tube
A plastic tube and plug ideal for storage or mailing of SEM mounts. The pin, 1/8" (3.1mm) in diameter, is inserted securely to the plug and protected by the tube. Mounts can be up to 38mm diameter. Ideal for storage or mailing. The outer measurements of the tube are 1.57" (40mm) x 2.95" (75mm). Max height of sample on stub is 1.18" (30mm).
I.D.: 39 mm
Size: 40 mm x 75 mm
Sample height: 30 mm

Ted Pella Inc Ø3" Silicon Wafer, Type P / <111>
These 3" diameter silicon wafers can be used either as a substrate for thin film research or to make small silicon substrates by dicing the wafer into smaller pieces using a scriber and the Wafer Cleaving / Glass Breaking Pliers. The wafer is shipped in a wafer carrier.
Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SH Hard Bond, 30 µm Particles, 250 mm diameter
PremaDisk Flexible Diamond Grinding Discs offer superior surface finishes that are usually only seen in lapping processes.
The SM disc is a medium-hard resin bond base for fine grinding and polishing of metals, ceramics and glass.
The SH disc is a hard resin bond base for applications where a very sharp edge must be maintained on the workpiece.
Both discs increase productivity by combining optimum surface quality, removal rates, and tool life in the same process.
Particles: 30 µm
Diameter: 250 mm
