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 EMS Platinum Aperture with 10 µm hole, 0.53 mm thick
Platinum apertures are easily cleaned by either an aperture flamer or over a bunsen burner in the open air. We maintain a wide variety of Platinum Drilled Apertures in stock with different configurations suiting all of your needs. Nominal hole diameter: +/- 1 micron. Disc diameter: +/- 10 microns. Disc thickness: +/- 10 microns
Size: 10 µm
O.D.: 2 mm
Thickness: 0.53 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 10 µm hole, 2 mm O.D., 0.53 mm thick
Advanced techniques of thin metal film application permits the apertures to retain a clean hole edge during prolonged beam exposure. Ultra-thin, half-micron design discourages contaminant accumulation and stabilizes astigmatic conditions to provide longer life. Conventional mechanical cleaning involving costly down-time is no longer necessary. Because the foil is ultra thin, care must be taken when handling the gold foil apertures.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Crystallography MicroTool Kit 1, 20 Tools
These patent-pending MicroTools have tips used for protein crystals, single cells and manipulating small samples are made from soft, flexible microfabricated polymer films. The curvature of the tips gives them rigidity, but they can still easily be flexed. Tools designed for use with samples from a few micrometers to millimeter in size. These tools will cause far less damage to fragile samples than metal tools, and they are optically and x-ray transparent. Each tool is mounted on a 0.025"/0.64 mm diameter non-magnetic stainless steel base. The base is fitted in a handle 0.7 mm diameter, included in each kit. 20 micro tools for sample manipulating and measurements. Small, medium and large MicroSpoon, microchisel, MicroLasso, and MicroSieve, and MicroGripper, MicroRuler and two MicroSaws.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 15 µm hole, 2 mm O.D., 0.53 mm thick
Advanced techniques of thin metal film application permits the apertures to retain a clean hole edge during prolonged beam exposure. Ultra-thin, half-micron design discourages contaminant accumulation and stabilizes astigmatic conditions to provide longer life. Conventional mechanical cleaning involving costly down-time is no longer necessary. Because the foil is ultra thin, care must be taken when handling the gold foil apertures.

Electron Microscopy Sciences MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with 100 µm Aperture and SPINE pin
MicroMounts are the high performance tools for manipulating and mounting protein crystals, virus crystals, and small molecule/inorganic crystals, and other small, fragile samples. They are ideal for both conventional and high-throughput X-ray crystallography applications.
Each consist of a thin (7.5um thick) micro-fabricated polyimide film, attached to a solid non-magnetic stainless steel pin. Film is wrapped around the steel pin and it provides excellent stiffness and convenient scoop-like action in retrieving and handling crystals.
Aperture: SPINE pin
Electron Microscopy Sciences V-2 Quality, 15 x 15 mm, 0.15- 0.21 mm thick
EMS Mica Sheets offer a clean surface for EM applications, carbon filming and particle spraying, as well as for AFM applications. There are two types of mica: muscovite and phlogopite. Generally, one differs from the other by color (Muscovite is Ruby, Green or White; Phlogopite is Amber, Yellow, or Silver). The maximum operating temperature for Muscovite is about 500-600 degree C and for Phlogopite is about 800-900 degree 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, and transparency. It has the chemical formula: H2KAI3(Si04)3. Clear and Slightly Stained. Hard, uniform color, nearly flat and slight crystallographic discoloration.
