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 NE1 Horizontal, 21 mm, 10 mm with 0.1 mm subdivisions
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.
Size: 21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE41 Horizontal, 16 mm, 10 mm with 200 subdivisions
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.
Size: 16 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE5 Horizontal, 19 mm, 5 mm with 0.05 mm subdivisions
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. Vertical micrometer scale.
Size: 19 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Cargille Microscope Immersion Oil Type NVH Oil 1 OZ
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: 0.919 g/cc
Electron Microscopy Sciences Concentric Circles Microscope Graticle NE43, 21 mm, 10 circles 0.5 mm-5 mm
Can be used for two-way measurement when calibrated as a micrometer. There are 10 concentric circles 0.5mm-5mm in diameter. Surface chrome image.
Size: 21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Cargille Microscope Type 37 Immersion Oil 1 OZ
Cargille PCB-Free Immersion oils were introduced in 1972. Today, no other immersion oil meets FDA criteria. Cargille 37 Immersion Oils have an index of 1.515 at 37 deg C. Consideration of these oils is also suggested where stage temperatures are elevated by sub-stage illuminators and high wattage projection equipment.
Density: @ 23°C: 0.917 g/cc

Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 8 well with 60 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.
