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 Paterson Darkroom Replacement Bulb,15w
Replacement bulb for Paterson Safelight Dome.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Micrometer S20, Double micrometer scale Scale, Length
Stage graticules are used for the routine calibration of eyepiece patterns, particularly when alternating between objectives on one microscope or when using the same graticule in different microscopes. Their robust construction makes them ideal for student use and for instructional purposes. The scale or grid is centered on a glass disc mounted in a black anodized aluminum slide 75 mm x 24 mm x 2 mm thick.
Scale: Double micrometer scale
Divisions: 2 mm in 0.01 mm and 0.1"in 0.005"
Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 1 well with 1550 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: 1550 µl
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Square 1500 mesh Nickel 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: Nickel
Pitch: 16.5 µm
Hole: 11.5 µm
Bar: 5 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Parallel Bar Grid G200P, 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: 125 µm
Hole: 80 µm
Bar: 45 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Preparation Stand
Specimen mounts of different sizes are placed in the outer ring of the holder base. The center hole of the base will hold a bottle of conductive adhesive. One side of the base takes 10 of the 1/8" pin mounts; reverse side takes 10 of 10 to 15 mm diameter mounts.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Aperture Grid with Single 1500 µm hole, Copper
Single Slot aperture grids have a thickness of are 50 microns. Aperture diameter is 1500 um.
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-MH-4C, 400 mesh Cu
C-flat is an ultra-flat, holey carbon-coated support grid for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Unlike competing holey carbon films, C-flat is manufactured without plastics, so it is clean upon arrival and the user has no residue to contend with. Made with patent pending technology, C-flat provides an ultra-flat surface that results in better particle dispersion and more uniform ice thickness.
Patterning is done using deep-UV projection lithography, ensuring the most accurate and consistent hole shapes and sizes down to submicron features. The precise methods by which C-flat is manufactured elminate artifacts such as excess carbon and edges around holes.
C-flat holey carbon grids provide the ideal specimen support to achieve high resolution data in making them an ideal choice for cryo single particle analysis, cryo tomography and automated TEM analysis.
Mesh: 400
Material: Copper
