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 MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with Assortment A1, 25 mm 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. Includes: 10, 20, 30 and 40 um apertures.
Aperture: 25 mm pin

Electron Microscopy Sciences BEEM Dial-A-Grid & Block Storage
Two tone color coded plastic box with insert which has 24 letter-labeled crossed slots and 2 cavities for block storage. A rotating protection plate covers the slots and allows for exposure of one grid at a time. There are two additional cavities for block storage. BEEM Is A Registered Trademark of Better Equipment For Electron Microscopy, Inc.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM-Specimen SB50 Grid Box
TEM grid storage box for routine handling and long term storage of 50 standard size TEM grids. Ergonomic design incorporates several features that overcome the disadvantages associated with storage boxes of the more conventional ʽsliding cover' design. Unique number on the face and on one end.
Blue arrow at the 12 o'clock position indicates the park position for the cover when not in use. This is a firm grip "click" position and cannot be moved accidentally, preventing spillage. Clear cover can be rotated smoothly through 360 deg once the slight initial resistance of the park position has been overcome exposing a maximum of 2 or 3 diamond shaped slots at any one time. The 50 diamond shaped slots have an alphanumeric referencing system.
Each box is supplied with an index record card. Designed to be stacked. Base made of ABS-PHAT and cover of CAB.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Uncoated Grid Stick
Grid-Stick, device for multi grid staining, kit replacement component.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Grid Storage Box 100-Capacity
100 grids can be stored in identified diamond-shaped wells for daily handling or long-term storage. Complete with grid recording card.
Electron Microscopy Sciences V-2 Quality, 50 x 75 mm, 0.15- 0.21 mm thick
EMS Mica Sheets offer a clean surface for EM applications, carbon filming & particle spraying, as well as for AFM applications. There are 2 types of mica: muscovite & phlogopite. Generally, one differs from the other by color (Muscovite is Ruby, Green or White; Phlogopite is Amber, Yellow, or Silver). The max operating temp for Muscovite is about 500-600 deg C & for Phlogopite is about 800-900 deg 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, & transparency. It has the chem formula: H2KAI3(Si04)3. Clear & Slightly Stained. Hard, uniform color, nearly flat & slight crystallographic discoloration. Very slight air inclusions & not more than 1/4 of usable area.
Quality: V-2
Size: 50 x 75 mm
Thickness: 0.15- 0.21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences MicroRT™ Room Temperature Crystal Mounting Tubing Kit
MicroRT is the answer for high-throughput room temperature diffraction screening and data collection. Go from crystal in a drop to crystal in the x-ray beam at room temperature in 2 minutes with 99% change of success.
Makes collecting data at room temperature as easy as at low temperatures, and allows you to collect room and low temperature data from the same crystal. Ideal for both room-temperature structure determination and for diagnosing the cause of poor low-temperature diffraction. Each bottle contains 37mm long clear polyester tubes, sealed at one end, an extra-keen razor blade for cutting tubes, and a tiny tube of grease.
