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 Microscope Graticule NE31 Horizontal, 21 mm, 0.5" with 100 divisions of 0.0005"
These scales are used for the measuring of lengths of specimen or distances between points on a variety of different shaped objects. By dividing the division of the chosen graticule by the magnification of the objective one obtains an approximate value that each division will represent on the stage. Horizontal micrometer scale.

Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 4 well with 200 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: 200 µl
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Micrometer S2, Horizontal Scale, 5.0 mm 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: Horizontal
Length: 5.0 mm
Divisions: 100 each 0.05 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences High Resolution Magnification Calibration Specimen 150-2DUTC for AFM
Model 150-2D is a very high resolution reference and traceable standards for magnification calibration of AFM, SEM, Auger, and FIB. It has a precision, holographic pattern that provides accurate calibration in the horizontal plane for very high resolution, nanometer-scale measurements.
The period is 144 nm pitch, two-dimensional array that is accurate to +/- 1 nm (calibration certificate will have actual pitch.) Surface: Aluminum bumps on Silicon, 4x3 mm die. Bump height (about 90 nm) and width (about 75 nm) are not calibrated.
For SEM an independent analytical lab has tested this specimen in a FE-SEM and found that the pattern was very uniform and the specimen was easy to image. No significant charging was observed in the voltage range 1-20 kV. This traceable, Certified Standard is a select grade.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Scale with Cross Line Microscope Graticle NE7, 25 mm, 10 mm with 0.1 mm spacing
Used as a horizontal and a vertical scale, they are especially useful when interested in measurement in different axis. Horizontal micrometer scale 10mm long with crosslines at 0.1mm spacing. Surface chrome image.
Size: 25 mm
Divisions: 10 mm with 0.1 mm spacing
Surface: Chrome image
Electron Microscopy Sciences Formvar/Carbon Support Film 25-50 nm/20-30 nm thick on 2X1 mm Slot Grid Gold Grid
A formvar coated grid, stabilized with evaporated carbon film. This type of coating is excellent for specimen support, especially for ultra thin sections. Coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the electron microscope. Packed in grid storage box. NOTE: All film is laid on the shiny side of the grid. Formvar is 25 to 50 nm thick with a 20 to 30 nm carbon coating.
Grid: Gold
