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 TEM Screen Recoating JEOL 100c, 100cx, 200cx, Inner Rec
For optimum viewing, fluorescent screens should be recoated regularly. Viewing screens are easily damaged by the electron beam, especially at high accelerating voltages where knock-on damage can be severe. A proprietary process where 1 to 2 micron particles of phosphor are deposited on the screen and produce the highest possible resolution.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Strip Aperture Hitachi, 10-50-100-200 µm holes, 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm
Strip apertures made from Platinum-Iridium (95:5).
Holes: 10-50-100-200 µm
Dimensions: 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 100 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: 100 µm
O.D.: 2 mm
Thickness: 0.53 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Crossed Scale Microscope Graticle NE70 (imperial), 26 mm, 0.8' with 400 divisions of 0.002"
Used as a horizontal and a vertical scale, they are especially useful when interested in measurement in different axis. Crossed Micrometer scale (imperial).
Size: 26 mm
Divisions: 0.8' with 400 divisions of 0.002"
Surface: Chrome image
Electron Microscopy Sciences MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with Assortment A1, 19 mm pin
MicroMounts are the high performance tools for manipulating and mounting protein crystals, virus crystals, and small molecule/inorganic crystals, and other small, fragile samples. They are ideal for both conventional and high-throughput X-ray crystallography applications.
Each consist of a thin (7.5um thick) micro-fabricated polyimide film, attached to a solid non-magnetic stainless steel pin. Film is wrapped around the steel pin and it provides excellent stiffness and convenient scoop-like action in retrieving and handling crystals. Includes: 10, 20, 30 and 40 um apertures.
Aperture: 19 mm pin
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 40 µm hole, 3 mm O.D., 0.24 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: 40 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PS12 Micrometer Standard with UKAS 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 UKAS accredited laboratory carries out measurements at selected points on the scales and grids and issues a calibration certificate.
Electron Microscopy Sciences BEEM Dial-A-Grid & Block Storage
Two tone color coded plastic box with insert which has 24 letter-labeled crossed slots and 2 cavities for block storage. A rotating protection plate covers the slots and allows for exposure of one grid at a time. There are two additional cavities for block storage. BEEM Is A Registered Trademark of Better Equipment For Electron Microscopy, Inc.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Miller Squares Graticle NE57, 16 mm, 9:1 Large to small square
The ratio of large to small squares is 9:1. Originally designed for hematology, they can be utilized for rapid counting of any evenly spread field of particle. References: American J. of Clin. Pathol. Vol.20, 1950, page 1079. "Time Saving Device For Counting Reticulocyte." G.Brescher and Schneiderman. Practicle Haemotology – J.D. Dacy. Published by J.A. Churchill. 2nd Edition 1956 page 25.
Size: 16 mm
Divisions: 9:1 Large to small square
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences Pharmaceutical PSA Pattern Graticle G-57, 21 mm, Glass sandwich
This graticule was designed for the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is also useful where particle size considerations are restricted to 10 mm and 25 mm. Dots and circles give quick references for these two sizes. In addition a scale is incorporated. The microscope must be calibrated when ordering this graticule, such that the circle must equate to 1 mm on the microscope stage.
Size: 21 mm
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Micrometer S5, Horizontal Scale, 20 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: 20 mm
Divisions: 200 each 0.01 mm
