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 PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SH Hard Bond, 6 µm Particles, 350 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: 6 µm
Diameter: 350 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Cold Mount GeoFix Acrylic Resin
800g powder, 500 ml liquid. Easy to use resins with short curing times and negligible shrinkage. Self-polymerizing components that harden with addition of catalyst. Hardened acrylic is thermoplastic/resistant to most chemicals.
Color: Colorless, clear cured under pressure
Curing time: 20 minutes
Hardness: 85 Shore D
Use: Extraordinarily clear mounts
Shrinkage: 3
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE1 Horizontal, 23 mm, 10 mm with 0.1 mm subdivisions
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: 23 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating Phillips Main Large
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.

Ibidi USA Anti-Evaporation Oil, 125 ml
ibidi Anti-Evaporation Oil is a biocompatible silicone oil used to prevent medium evaporation in cell culture applications. sterile, 125 ml
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Substrate Gold Coated Microscope Slide, 25 x 75 mm
EMS offers a variety of economically priced coated substrates. All coatings are deposited under vacuum using electron beam evaporation. These high quality substrates are coated with 500 Angstroms (50 nm) of gold, with a thin chromium adhesion layer (2-7 nm) between the glass and coating. All substrates are pre-cleaned using an ion source for quality assurance. Autoclavable. Packed in a cleanroom. Shipped in slide mailers.
Dimensions: 25 x 75 mm
Material: Soda lime glass
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Hexagonal 600 mesh Copper Grid
Very fine mesh grids have up to 2,000 lines/inch. There is an increasing need in TEM for support films, routinely carbon, as thin as 1.5 - 2.0 nm. The pitch (the distance from the center of one bar to the center of the next bar) dimension in all grids remains constant, allowing use as a lower magnification calibration aid.
Apart from one side being shiny, the other matt, there is a large asymmetrical mark in the rim which gives the identification of which side the specimen is on. Grids are 3.05 mm overall diameter; 2.05 mm mesh area diameter. With 5 µm bars more of the specimen can be viewed then in standard grids.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 42 µm
Hole: 37 µm
Bar: 5 µm
