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 S7 England Finder Slide
S7 is a glass slide 75 mm x 26 mm marked over the top surface in a way that a referenced position can be directly read relative to the locating edges. It is marked with a square grid at 1 mm intervals. Each square contains a center ring bearing reference letters and numbers, the remainder of the square is subdivided into four segments numbered 1 to 4.
Reference numbers run horizontally 1 to 75 and letters vertically A to Z (omitting I). The main locating edge is the bottom of the slide, which is used in conjunction with either the left or right vertical edge of the slide.
Using the finder the position of a field of interest is easily recorded, ite can be relocated by another person when using a England Finder on another microscope. The location of the arrows is identical for all England Finder slides. Mark a label on the left hand side of the specimen slide, indicating the orientation. A total of 100 positions can be accurately located.

Electron Microscopy Sciences MAG*I*CAL Calibration Sample
World's smallest ruler. Performs all major TEM calibrations including all magnification ranges, camera constant, image diffraction pattern rotation, and directly traceable to a natural constant.
MAG*I*CAL consists of ion milled cross section of a silicon single crystal consisting of a series of atomically flat layers of Si and SiGe, which have been grown epitaxially by MBE (molecular beam epitaxy). When the calibration structure is viewed in a TEM, it appears as a series of light and dark layers where the layer thicknesses are accurately known. The calibrated thickness measurements of these light (silicon) and dark (SiGe) layers are based on careful TEM measurements of the <111> lattice spacing of silicon, which is visible on the calibration sample itself, and are supported by x-ray diffraction measurements. The layer spacing are designed so that the sample can be used to calibrate the entire magnification range in a TEM, from 1,000X to 1,000,000X.
