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 Cargille Microscope Immersion Oil Type B, 16oz
Cargille PCB-Free Immersion oils were introduced in 1972. Today, no other immersion oil meets FDA criteria. For horizontal, inverted and inclined instruments and projection equipment where higher viscosities are generally required. Type NVH meets the requirement, having a viscosity of 21,000cST.Density: @ 23°C: .923 g/cc
Med Vet International Curity™ Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 8 Inch, Sterile, 6113-, Each

THORLABS INC MOIL-10LF, 10 mm Focal Length, Low Magnification Objective Lens
The Thorlabs MOIL-10LF is a 10mm focal length, f/1.5 aspheric lens made of N-BK7 glass. It has an anti-reflection coating for the visible spectrum from 350-700nm. The lens has a diameter of 6.35mm and a working distance of 5.0mm. It is designed for laser beam collimation and focusing applications. The lens is optimized for 532nm, but can be used from 350-700nm. It has a damage threshold of 500 MW/cm2 at 532nm. The lens weighs 2 grams.
Volu Sol Immersion Oil, Type A (Low Viscosity), 1 oz / 30 mL, Volu-Sol™
Types A and B are essentially interchangeable. Oils are miscible with each other, can be mixed for intermediate viscosities. Type A, at 150 centistokes, reduces most tendencies to trap air, being most beneficial to researchers. Air bubbles can cause image degradation. Type B, at 1250 centistokes, is thick enough for viewing multiple slides with one application
Med Vet International McKesson Silicone Adhesive with Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 6 x 6 Inch, 4844, Each
Silicone Foam Dressing McKesson 6 X 6 Inch Square Silicone Adhesive with Border Sterile Designed to affix to dry, intact skin to maintain a moist wound environment and promote healing Outer film layer is breathable while remaining resistant to bacteria and moisture infiltration Inner hydrocellular foam pad is absorbent Seals the wound margins to help prevent exudate from leaking on surrounding tissue Highly conformable to fit on body's contours Perforated silicone gel adhesive minimizes pain and trauma to wounds upon removal Dressing can be lifted and repositioned without losing its adherent properties Sterile dressing is intended for single-use applications 4 x 4 inch pad
Volu Sol Immersion Oil, Type B (High Viscosity), 16 oz / 500 mL, Volu-Sol™
Types A and B are essentially interchangeable. Oils are miscible with each other, can be mixed for intermediate viscosities. Type A, at 150 centistokes, reduces most tendencies to trap air, being most beneficial to researchers. Air bubbles can cause image degradation. Type B, at 1250 centistokes, is thick enough for viewing multiple slides with one application
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.
