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 Maxtaform London Finder Grid, 135 mesh Copper, 188 µm Pitch
Maxtaform grids with reference patterns are of the highest consistent quality.
Material: Copper
Pitch: 188 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Hexagonal 600 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. With 5 µm bars more of the specimen can be viewed then in standard grids.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 42 µm
Hole: 37 µm
Bar: 5 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Scale with Cross Line Microscope Graticle NE7, 21 mm, 10 mm with 0.1 mm spacing
Used as a horizontal and a vertical scale, they are especially useful when interested in measurement in different axis. Horizontal micrometer scale 10mm long with crosslines at 0.1mm spacing. Surface chrome image.
Size: 21 mm
Divisions: 10 mm with 0.1 mm spacing
Surface: Chrome image
Electron Microscopy Sciences Pharmaceutical PSA Pattern Graticle G-57, 21 mm, Glass sandwich
This graticule was designed for the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is also useful where particle size considerations are restricted to 10 mm and 25 mm. Dots and circles give quick references for these two sizes. In addition a scale is incorporated. The microscope must be calibrated when ordering this graticule, such that the circle must equate to 1 mm on the microscope stage.
Size: 21 mm
Surface: Glass sandwich
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 Gilder Parallel Bar Grid G100P, Nickel
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: Nickel
Pitch: 250 µm
Hole: 185 µm
Bar: 65 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Scanning Electron Microscope Finder Grid, Nickel
Finder grids for SEM; a valuable tool for analytical studies. The grids are available in 10 mm diameter and they can be placed directly on the stub surface and used to identify the area of interest in which the studies are performed.
Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 4 well with 300 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: 300 µl
Electron Microscopy Sciences Maxtaform London Finder Grid, 400 mesh Gold, 63 µm Pitch
Maxtaform grids with reference patterns are of the highest consistent quality.
