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 MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with 75 µm Aperture and 11 mm pin
MicroMounts are the high performance tools for manipulating and mounting protein crystals, virus crystals, and small molecule/inorganic crystals, and other small, fragile samples. They are ideal for both conventional and high-throughput X-ray crystallography applications.
Each consist of a thin (7.5um thick) micro-fabricated polyimide film, attached to a solid non-magnetic stainless steel pin. Film is wrapped around the steel pin and it provides excellent stiffness and convenient scoop-like action in retrieving and handling crystals.
Aperture: 11 mm pin
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM-Specimen SB50 Grid Box
TEM grid storage box for routine handling and long term storage of 50 standard size TEM grids. Ergonomic design incorporates several features that overcome the disadvantages associated with storage boxes of the more conventional ʽsliding cover' design. Unique number on the face and on one end.
Blue arrow at the 12 o'clock position indicates the park position for the cover when not in use. This is a firm grip "click" position and cannot be moved accidentally, preventing spillage. Clear cover can be rotated smoothly through 360 deg once the slight initial resistance of the park position has been overcome exposing a maximum of 2 or 3 diamond shaped slots at any one time. The 50 diamond shaped slots have an alphanumeric referencing system.
Each box is supplied with an index record card. Designed to be stacked. Base made of ABS-PHAT and cover of CAB.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Platinum Aperture with 50 µm hole, 0.24 mm thick
Platinum apertures are easily cleaned by either an aperture flamer or over a bunsen burner in the open air. We maintain a wide variety of Platinum Drilled Apertures in stock with different configurations suiting all of your needs. Nominal hole diameter: +/- 1 micron. Disc diameter: +/- 10 microns. Disc thickness: +/- 10 microns
Size: 50 µm
O.D.: 2 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 20 µm hole, 3 mm O.D., 0.24 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.
Size: 20 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE2 Verticle, 21 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. Vertical micrometer scale.
Size: 21 mm
