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

A useful tool for assisting in loading and unloading SEM pin stubs from a loading stand or specimen box into the microscope. It features a Perspex handle with beryllium copper pins that give the tool a flexible, but stable, grip on the specimen stub.
KLARMANN RULINGS INC Miller Disc Reticle Corner, 20 mm
A squared reticle can be used for counting. Here the basic principle is that a small area of the specimen is analyzed in order to obtain information about the total area. This removes much irksome work and is preferable in certain instances to analyzing the whole area. For example when it is desired to compare the proportion of large to small particles in a specimen, by using the Miller Disc, the smaller particles may be counted only in the small square, the result being multiplied by ten for comparison with the number of larger particles in the large square.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Walton & Beckett Graticule G24, 19 mm, 5:1 ratio
The Walton and Beckett graticule is for counting fibrous dust (asbestos or glass fibers) and particularly where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 microns. The circle is divided into four by two diametrical lines scaled in units of 5 and 3 microns respectively. 3 and 5 microns are the critical measurements of fiber lengths and diameters used in fiber counting. Walton and Beckett include shapes with an aspect ratio of 3:1 or 5:1 for comparing to fibers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The circle on these Walton & Beckett graticules must represent 100 microns at the stage and each one must be manufactured to the individual instrument. 5:1 ratio is useful where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 um.
