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 Chalkley Point Array Graticle NG52, 19mm
Eyepiece graticle is used to quickly determine the relationship of components to each other using random sampling. Curtis gives an example of its application, where a researcher may want to see whether or not a certain drug affects the volume proportion of cell types in a given organ. With this graticule the proportion of points lying over the image of one type of component is statistically proportional to the area occupied by that component. The 25 points of the array are placed over the field of view at random, so that a comparison can be made between the number of points touching the one type of component, with number touching the other type of component in each viewing. A series of observations will yield an increasingly accurate ratio of the comparative incidence of each type of particle.
Size: 19 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences JEOL SEM Cylinder Mount 10 mm Head, 10 mm height, Aluminum
Cylinder specimen mounts are for use with JEOL scanning electron microscopes. The mounts are made from ultra-pure aluminum with standard lathe finish.
Head: 3/8"
Height: 3/8"
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-1.2/1.3-4C, 400 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. 1.2 µm holes with 1.3 µm spacing.
Mesh: 400
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences Paterson Globes and Circles Graticle NG1, 16mm
The graticule consists of a central rectangle, sub-divided into nine smaller rectangles with a number of increasing circles outside the top and bottom horizontal edges. The marked figures are the diameters of the circles in units. 250 units represent the horizontal length of the large rectangle. Rectangle size is 4.5mm x 2.025mm. Circle sizes in microns are 450, 360, 270, 225,180,145, 110, 74, 37, and 18.
Size: 16 mm
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences NIGHTSEA™ Eclipse MicroTent
The Eclipse MicroTent provides local darkness around conventional laboratory stereo microscopes that are using a fluorescence adapter. Fluorescence can be weak and can be difficult to see well if there is ambient light. The tent is ideal for sheilding microscopes on lab benches in shared spaces, near windows, or in other difficult-to-darken locations such as in the field. Easy access to the sample stage and the focus and zoom controls is maintained. It is designed for stereo microscopes but could potentially be used with many varieties of compound microscopes.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Micrometer S48, Scale, 1 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.
Length: 1 mm
Divisions: 100 each 0.01 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences ULTRAPOL Basic Manual Polisher
Manual polishing tool for delayering and/or crosssectioning results on a very tight budget. Works with all 8" (200 mm) surfaces. Features a small footprint, speed control and high torque motor, and coolant speed control. Configured for 100-220/240V operation. 0-500 RPM. Includes 8 inch (200 mm) polishing system with speed control and solenoid-controlled coolant system.
Electron Microscopy Sciences ProScope C-Mount Adapter
Use your own optics with our industry standard 25.4mm c-mount adapter. Attach the ProScope to an existing microscope, telescope or camera lenses to capture digital images and expand your digital imaging tools.
Electron Microscopy Sciences NIGHTSEA™ Keyence VHX Fluorescence Adapter ZST UV + VI + RB Full System
The NIGHTSEA Model SFA Fluorescence Adapter system adds a versatile fluorescence imaging capability to the Keyence VHX series of digital microscopes. The system is being used successfully by a growing number of Keyence owners for a variety of applications.
