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 S-EC Diamond Grinding Disc, 250 mm diameter, 15µm Particles

The very high stock removal rate results in fast and clean mounting. Thickness of 0.2 mm with a non-erosion backing. Only water coolant is needed. Replacement for Piano, Cameo, Galaxy, and Apex DGD.
Diameter: 250 mm
Particles: 15µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 3 well with 75 µl volume
CoverWell Perfusion Chambers allows up to 16 different specimens on one coverglass. "Press-to-Seal" covers form water-tight, multiwall cell incubation or cytochemistry chamber when pressed to coverslips or microscope slides. Reagents can be quickly added and removed through dual access ports (1.5 mm Dia) without disturbing or cross-contaminating specimens in adjacent wells. Chambers are removable for permanent mounting of specimens. CoverWell chambers are made from medical grade silicone bonded to clear, UV transparent plastic.
Volume: 75 µl
Electron Microscopy Sciences British Standard Graticle NG10, 19mm
In this graticule the circle areas double progressively, hence the diameters alter by Root 2, so that the size classes can form a continuation of the standard series of sieves for particle sizing. Each particle is assigned to a size class defined by two adjacent circles, which represent the size limits of that class. Thus the distribution of size is obtained in terms of the diameter of circles having the same projected area as the particles. This method will cover particles in the range 150 micron to 0.38 micron. The size distributions with respect to their number and weight are determined separately. Final results are calculated as cumulative percents.
Originally designed by the National Coal Board for use in coal mining.

Electron Microscopy Sciences S7 England Finder Slide
S7 is a glass slide 75 mm x 26 mm marked over the top surface in a way that a referenced position can be directly read relative to the locating edges. It is marked with a square grid at 1 mm intervals. Each square contains a center ring bearing reference letters and numbers, the remainder of the square is subdivided into four segments numbered 1 to 4.
Reference numbers run horizontally 1 to 75 and letters vertically A to Z (omitting I). The main locating edge is the bottom of the slide, which is used in conjunction with either the left or right vertical edge of the slide.
Using the finder the position of a field of interest is easily recorded, ite can be relocated by another person when using a England Finder on another microscope. The location of the arrows is identical for all England Finder slides. Mark a label on the left hand side of the specimen slide, indicating the orientation. A total of 100 positions can be accurately located.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Carbon Support Film 3-4 nm thick on Square 200 mesh Copper Grid

Electron Microscopy Sciences V-2 Quality, 25 x 25 mm, 0.26- 0.31 mm thick
EMS Mica Sheets offer a clean surface for EM applications, carbon filming & particle spraying, as well as for AFM applications. There are 2 types of mica: muscovite & phlogopite. Generally, one differs from the other by color (Muscovite is Ruby, Green or White; Phlogopite is Amber, Yellow, or Silver). The max operating temp for Muscovite is about 500-600 deg C & for Phlogopite is about 800-900 deg C. Our line consists of High Quality Muscovite Mica. This mica peels off very thin up to 0.0001" uniform layers, exposing "virgin" mica upon splitting.
Muscovite, potash type mica, sometimes known as granitic mica, is the best of all micas in dielectric strength, perfection of cleavage, & transparency. It has the chem formula: H2KAI3(Si04)3. Clear & Slightly Stained. Hard, uniform color, nearly flat & slight crystallographic discoloration. Very slight air inclusions & not more than 1/4 of usable area.
Quality: V-2
Size: 25 x 25 mm
Thickness: 0.26- 0.31 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Reference Stage Graticule 75 mmx25 mm Slide
High precision image analysis standard provides four test areas for calibrating image analysis systems and identifying deviations and distortions in optical imaging systems. It is produced on a 75 mm x 25 mm slide and has a square grid accuracy of +/-0.1um and a dot accuracy of +/-0.3um.
The four test areas are:
400 um x 400 um square grid subdivided into 200, 100, 50 and 25 micron squares for detecting gross image distortions and can be used as an accurate two dimensional stage micrometer.
A 20 x 17 array of nominally 15 um diameter dots is used to identify lens distortions.
A root-2 array of spots from 3 um to 48 um diameter is used for determining the threshold levels of cameras and microscopes.
A log-normal distribution array of 100 spots ranging from 4.5 um to 27 um diameter enables the mean and standard deviation to be determined and compared with certified values. This is an idealized distribution of maximum dynamic range for a full screen.
