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
Ted Pella Inc Formvar/Carbon 200 mesh, Nickel, approx. grid hole size: 97µm, 50/pk
A Formvar film covered with a "light" layer of carbon. The heat and electrical conducting properties of carbon help to stabilize the Formvar films when exposed to the electron beam. This is a resilient, all-purpose specimen support film, ideal for mounting thin sections and for applications using lower ranges of magnification.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE20 Horizontal, 19 mm, 0.1 inch with 100 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. Horizontal micrometer scale.
Size: 19 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
Electron Microscopy Sciences NIGHTSEA™ Stereo Fluorescence Adapter Standard Lamp Base, Royal Blue Barrier Filter
The NIGHTSEA™ Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter adapts just about any stereo microscope (dissecting microscope) for fluorescence w/ no modification to the microscope itself. The modular design lets you easily switch between several different excitation/emission combinations to work w/ a variety of fluorescent proteins & other fluorophores. There are six different excitation/emission combinations available, plus white light.
Excellent for quick screening of your fluorescent genotypes, genotype sorting, fluorescence-aided dissection, injection, or micromanipulation, freeing up your research-grade fluorescence microscopes for more demanding work, & bringing fluorescence into the teaching laboratory.
System consists of flexible gooseneck lamp base w/ power supply, light head, ring adapter for microscope, barrier filter, & filter shield.
Color: Royal Blue
Excitation: 440-460nm
Emission filter: 500 nm longpass
Electron Microscopy Sciences Square Grid Graticle NE10, 19mm, 0.5 mm pitch
Simple grids are convenient for making sketches of the obseved specimen on graph paper. They are also useful for particle counting.

Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 3 well with 200 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: 200 µl
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Parallel Bar Grid G400PB, Copper
Gilder grids are a reliable support specimen grid for transmission electron microscopy. They feature a well-defined grid bars, maximum open area, and a matt/shiny side. Each grid is individually inspected.
Material: Copper
Pitch: 62 µm
Hole: 22 µm
Bar: 40 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Quality Control Testing Standard Set B
Additional 1000 mesh and 2000 mesh grid included. On 32mm diameter block.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Square 2000 mesh Copper Grid
Very fine mesh grids have up to 2,000 lines/inch. There is an increasing need in TEM for support films, routinely carbon, as thin as 1.5 - 2.0 nm. The pitch (the distance from the center of one bar to the center of the next bar) dimension in all grids remains constant, allowing use as a lower magnification calibration aid.
Apart from one side being shiny, the other matt, there is a large asymmetrical mark in the rim which gives the identification of which side the specimen is on. Grids are 3.05 mm overall diameter; 2.05 mm mesh area diameter.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 12.5 µm
Hole: 7.5 µm
Bar: 5 µm
