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 Shorter Pin SEM Stub Slotted 2" Head, 6 mm Pin, Aluminum, 3.2 mm Pin diameter

Head: 2"
Pin height: 6 mm
Pin diameter: 3.2 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences CryoCapsule High Pressure Freezing
The CryoCapsule is used in High Pressure Freezing (HPF) and correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM). Comparable to a small petri dish, it is composed of a landmarked sapphire disc and a gold spacer ring (50um thick) maintained together by a plastic ring. The specimens are encapsulated between the support sapphire disc (carbon landmarked) and a covering sapphire disc.
The CryoCapsule is loaded into a specific adaptor (HPM010, HPM100, HPF compact 02). Live cell imaging is done directly on the specimen in the CryoCapsule prior to HPF. Post-HPF, the specimen is processed for freeze substitution and room temperature sectioning.
CryoCapCell has developed a set of tools to manipulate the CryoCapsule in most scientific environments.
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Stub Hitachi M4 4" Cylinder, 4.5mm height, Aluminum
SEM specimen mount with M4 large for use with Hitachi. Made from ultra-pure aluminum with a standard lathe finish.
Head: 4"
Height: 4.5 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences High Magnification SEM Specimen Tin On Carbon on Grid, JEOL Stub
This high magnification test is supported by a grid with tin dispersion over a carbon substrate. Range is about 3 - 60nm. The tin spheres are easily found on the grid. The grid allows the test to be level with the tin spheres.
Type: JEOL Stub
