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 C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-2/4-4C, 400 mesh Cu
C-flat is an ultra-flat, holey carbon-coated support grid for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Unlike competing holey carbon films, C-flat is manufactured without plastics, so it is clean upon arrival and the user has no residue to contend with. Made with patent pending technology, C-flat provides an ultra-flat surface that results in better particle dispersion and more uniform ice thickness.
Patterning is done using deep-UV projection lithography, ensuring the most accurate and consistent hole shapes and sizes down to submicron features. The precise methods by which C-flat is manufactured elminate artifacts such as excess carbon and edges around holes.
C-flat holey carbon grids provide the ideal specimen support to achieve high resolution data in making them an ideal choice for cryo single particle analysis, cryo tomography and automated TEM analysis. 2.0 µm holes with 4.0 µm spacing.
Mesh: 400
Material: Copper

Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SH Hard Bond, 3 µm Particles, 200 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: 3 µm
Diameter: 200 mm

KLARMANN RULINGS INC Miller Disc Reticle Corner, 20 mm
A squared reticle can be used for counting. Here the basic principle is that a small area of the specimen is analyzed in order to obtain information about the total area. This removes much irksome work and is preferable in certain instances to analyzing the whole area. For example when it is desired to compare the proportion of large to small particles in a specimen, by using the Miller Disc, the smaller particles may be counted only in the small square, the result being multiplied by ten for comparison with the number of larger particles in the large square.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Formvar/Carbon Film 10 nm/1 nm thick on Square 300 mesh Copper Grid
A formvar coated grid, stabilized with evaporated carbon film. This type of coating is excellent for specimen support, especially for ultra thin sections. All of our coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the EM. Packed in grid storage box. NOTE: All of our film is laid on the shiny side of the grid. Formvar is approximately 10 nm thick with 1 nm of carbon.
Grid: Copper

Leica Biosystems IHC SUPER BLOCKING 110ML
IHC/ISH Super Blocking is specially formulated to stabilize antibodies and eliminate background encountered in immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) procedures. The diluent contains complex protein and non-protein mixtures that eliminate background by blocking non-specific protein-protein interactions. It is particularly recommended for staining of mouse tissues with mouse primary antibodies. It can also be used as a diluent for primary antibodies. If primary antibodies are diluted in this solution, a blocking step before primary antibodies can be omitted.
