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

World Precision Instrument Large Knob Cover Silicone
Silicone handle covers for use with the SurgiScope Surgical Microscope. The silicone handle covers protect the handles and knobs of your microscope during surgery and can be easily removed for cleaning.
Ted Pella Inc Lacey Carbon Type-A, 300 mesh, Copper, 25/pk
A Lacey carbon film with a removable Formvar backing on the opposite side of the grid. When the Formvar is removed, by dipping in solvent, the Lacey carbon film remains. These films are stable under all EM operating conditions and for use where the presence of Formvar can not be tolerated. Pure Lacey Carbon is more delicate than those with Formvar backing and require more careful handling during specimen preparation. Holes are completely open.

Strip apertures made from Platinum-Iridium (95:5).
Holes: 30-50-70-100 µm
Dimensions: 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm

Cylinder specimen mounts are for use with JEOL and ISI scanning electron microscopes. The mounts are made from ultra-pure aluminum with a standard lathe finish.
Head: 5/8"
Height: 5/8"
Electron Microscopy Sciences JEOL SEM JSM 840 Cylinder Mount 1" surface, 3/8" height, Aluminum
Cylinder specimen mounts are for use with JEOL JSM-840 scanning electron microscopes. The mounts are made from ultra-pure aluminum with a standard lathe finish.
Head: 1"
Height: 3/8"
Electron Microscopy Sciences PS8 Micrometer Standard with Graticules Cert
These stage micrometers are available with a calibration certificate that provides traceability for the precise calibration and confirmation of accuracy of optical measuring instruments, necessary under ISO provisions. The glass discs are mounted in stainless steel slides with engraved serial numbers. Each slide is supplied in a polished wooden storage case. A Certificate of Comparison from Pyser-SGI, Graticules Division compares the scale to a NPL calibrated in-house standards. A statemen is provided on the accuracy of the item with respect to these standards.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 200 µm hole, 3 mm O.D., 0.24 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.
Size: 200 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Walton & Beckett Graticule G22, 26 mm, 3:1 ratio
The Walton and Beckett graticule is for counting fibrous dust (asbestos or glass fibers) and particularly where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 microns. The circle is divided into four by two diametrical lines scaled in units of 5 and 3 microns respectively. 3 and 5 microns are the critical measurements of fiber lengths and diameters used in fiber counting. Walton and Beckett include shapes with an aspect ratio of 3:1 or 5:1 for comparing to fibers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The circle on these Walton & Beckett graticules must represent 100 microns at the stage and each one must be manufactured to the individual instrument. 3:1 ratio is useful where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 um.
Size: 26 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Standard Square 200 mesh Cu/Pd Grid
A reliable support specimen grid source. Features well-defined grid bars, maximum open area, and a matt/shiny side. Each grid is individually inspected. 3.05 mm diameter, 0.7 mil (18 um) thickness.
Grid: Copper/Palladium
Pitch: 125 µm
Hole: 90 µm
Bar: 35 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Grating Replica, Crossed Line, 1 each
Crossed: Cross line pitch spacing of 463nm with 2160 lines/mm in both directions, cross at 90 to one another give additional accuracy to magnification checks and aid in checking distortion. Trench-type groove makes it easy to measure pitch. Ideal for calibration electron-optical magnification up to the x80000/100000 range.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Specimen Supports Molybdenum GS2 x 1
We have extended our range of TEM grid materials to include four types, which are now available in Molybdenum. The new products are manufactured using a process known as chemical ʽmilling' (etching) instead of the more familiar technique of ʽelectroforming' (deposition) that is used in the manufacture of copper, nickel and gold products. Molybdenum is used principally in applications where it's high temperature, hardness, expansion of coefficient and corrosion resistance characteristics are considered important. The material which is used has a purity of 99.9%.
Hole: 2 x 1 mm
Thickness: 50 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences JEOL 3 Position Grid Insert
A three position insert which will fit standard JEOL 2 position holders as a direct replacement. Specimens are held in place with our push fit, easy to use circlips. The circlip extraction tool, Cat. #EMS016 is needed to install and remove circlips.
