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

Dino Lite RK-02 Desk Clamp Flex Arm Mount
Dino-Lite stand RK-02 offers excellent shaping capability of the gooseneck arm. RK-02 has increased stability in articulation compared to other gooseneck stands. RK-02 allows a Dino-Lite microscope to easily position by bending the arm and by adjusting the rotating head. The arm base can also be rotated for additional viewing angles, or be fixed with the quick release fastener for uneven surface usage. The C-clamp of RK-02 fits to most desk surfaces or poles up to 3-inch in thickness, horizontally or vertically, with a 23 inch (60 cm) reach.
Electron Microscopy Sciences PS1 Micrometer Standard with NPL Cert
These stage micrometers are available with a calibration certificate that provides traceability for the precise calibration and confirmation of accuracy of optical measuring instruments, necessary under ISO provisions. The glass discs are mounted in stainless steel slides with engraved serial numbers. Each slide is supplied in a polished wooden storage case. Calibrated by the National Physical Laboratory by taking measurements at selected points on the scale.
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Sample Mountant - Dual Use
This extraordinary mountant can be used as a temporary or permanent bond. The pen is composed of a fiber tip, allowing for even and reproducable application, and may be used in all SEM applications. The glue appears blue, however dries to clear. Free from any solvents, the base of the glue is acrylic. Photo safe and acid free.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Quantifoil Holey Carbon Film R 2/1 on Gold 300 mesh Grid
QUANTIFOIL is a perforated support foil with pre-defined hole size, shape and arrangement. It has advantages in electron microscopy (EM) or low-energy electron point source (LEEPS) microscopy when compared with conventional holey film.
QUANTIFOIL with circular holes is used in cryo-electron tomographic reconstruction. The roundness of the holes is advantageous with respect to the formation of an ice layer of constant thickness. The whole size chosen depends on the magnification used, and on whether or not one wishes to include support film in the image. Assessment of the image quality is easier when foil is included in the picture, because the power spectrum of a foil is stronger than that of unsupported ice.
Grid: Gold
Mesh: 300
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 30 µm hole, 2 mm O.D., 0.53 mm thick
Advanced techniques of thin metal film application permits the apertures to retain a clean hole edge during prolonged beam exposure. Ultra-thin, half-micron design discourages contaminant accumulation and stabilizes astigmatic conditions to provide longer life. Conventional mechanical cleaning involving costly down-time is no longer necessary. Because the foil is ultra thin, care must be taken when handling the gold foil apertures.
Size: 30 µm
O.D.: 2 mm
Thickness: 0.53 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE20 Horizontal, 16 mm, 0.1 inch with 100 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 PS16 Micrometer Standard with Graticules Cert
These stage micrometers are available with a calibration certificate that provides traceability for the precise calibration and confirmation of accuracy of optical measuring instruments, necessary under ISO provisions. The glass discs are mounted in stainless steel slides with engraved serial numbers. Each slide is supplied in a polished wooden storage case. A Certificate of Comparison from Pyser-SGI, Graticules Division compares the scale to a NPL calibrated in-house standards. A statemen is provided on the accuracy of the item with respect to these standards.

Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-4/2-2C, 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. 4.0 µm holes with 2.0 µm spacing.
