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 Formvar/Carbon Film 10 nm/1 nm thick on Square 100 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

Electron Microscopy Sciences HSE Test Slide S84
This test slide for calibration in asbestos analysis is made in the UK and is under license from the National Physical Laboratory. It is an epoxy replica of a master slide produced and certified by that laboratory. The replicas are mounted on microscope slides of 1.2 mm thickness with cover glass of 0.17 mm thickness. This information is transferred to the accompanying table, which indicates the maximum phase change passing through test objects to test slide. A satisfactory system will detect block 5. Full details are supplied with the slide.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Hexagonal 300 mesh Nickel Grid
Thin Bar Grids have been developed using a new technology to produce ultra-fine grids with thinner cross bars than regular grids. The result is equally firm specimen support but with 40% more open area for viewing maximum specimen surface area. 3.05 diameter, 0.8 mil thickness.
Grid: Nickel
Pitch: 83 µm
Hole: 73 µm
Bar: 10 µm
Andwin Scientific Zerostat Antistatic Gun, piezoelectric effect to emit positive (trigger squeeze) and negative (trigger release) charges
