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 Veco Square Center Reference 200 mesh Grid, Stainless
Veco Grids offer superior handling characteristics. Plus, with a 0.8 mil thickness, Veco Grids are the most rigid grids available. 3.05 mm diameter. Punched from Stainless Steel Woven 200 mesh.
Grid: Stainless
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 15 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: 15 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Strip Aperture Hitachi, 30-50-70-100 µm holes, 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm
Strip apertures made from Platinum-Iridium (95:5).
Holes: 30-50-70-100 µm
Dimensions: 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SH Hard Bond, 6 µm Particles, 250 mm diameter
PremaDisk Flexible Diamond Grinding Discs offer superior surface finishes that are usually only seen in lapping processes.
The SM disc is a medium-hard resin bond base for fine grinding and polishing of metals, ceramics and glass.
The SH disc is a hard resin bond base for applications where a very sharp edge must be maintained on the workpiece.
Both discs increase productivity by combining optimum surface quality, removal rates, and tool life in the same process.
Particles: 6 µm
Diameter: 250 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Double Cross Lines Reticle RET 60, 21 mm, 0.025 mm Gap
High quality, precision made standard reticles are manufactured to use with our microscope eyepieces. All recticles are chrome on glass and positive polarity.
Size: 21 mm
Gap: 0.025 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Silicon Test Specimen, Incident L.M.
This Test Specimen is made of a 5 mmx5 mm square of single crystal silicon. It is photo-etched and the squares repeat every 10 um. The dividing lines are 1.9 um wide.
A broader etching line is written every 500 um, which is useful in light microscopy. This is an excellent test specimen for comparing magnification and assessing any distortion in the image field. It is ideally useful in the context of automated counting systems to check for unsuspected distortions. Where critical measurements must be made the sample can be mounted directly onto the calibration specimen so that an internal calibration is obtained on the micro-graph.
