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 Calibration Specimen PT, 15 mm steel disk for AFM
SPM calibration specimens are produced by holographic fabrication that assures high accuracy and precision. The standards provide easier testing of your SPM, improved accuracy of critical dimension measurements and accuracy of 0.5% (1 std. dev.). The pattern height of greater than 100nm provides excellent image contrast. There is uniform coverage of entire chip which allows for imaging anywhere on the chip. AFM Phase imaging, PT, pattern: random hard & soft domain as small as 10 nm, nominal pitch: none, material: polymer.
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-1.2/1.3-2C, 200 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. 1.2 µm holes with 1.3 µm spacing.
Mesh: 200
Material: Copper

Mitegen NVH Oil, 4 oz Bottle, Very High Viscosity, For Room & Variable-Temperature Diffraction, Minimizes Crystal Motion, Low Scatter
NVH Oil is a very high viscosity oil expertly formulated for optimal performance in room and variable-temperature diffraction measurements. This specialized oil minimizes crystal motion during data collection, even when applied in thick layers to prevent dehydration, ensuring superior sample stability. It serves as an excellent vapor barrier, safeguarding delicate crystals. Highly effective in removing external solvent, NVH Oil prevents ice ring formation during cooling, a critical step for high-quality data. Protein crystals prepared with this oil can be slowly cooled to 100 K without appreciable degradation of diffraction properties, enabling data collection at arbitrary temperatures. Crucially, this oil exhibits minimal background scatter and does not form diffraction rings when cooled, ensuring cleaner experimental results. Supplied in a 4 fl. oz. bottle, NVH Oil is an indispensable tool for achieving high-resolution diffraction data.
