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 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 PS5 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 Para/Gard™ Paraffin Repellent 4 OZ
A paraffin repellent for countertops as well as equipment. Just spray and wipe away. No more paraffin build up around your work area. ParaGard is a pleasant smelling, non-toxic spray which is safe for use on metal, wood, and plastic surfaces.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Graticules (Micrometers) S78
For reflected light the scale is etched through highly reflective vacuum coated metal. When viewed under vertical illumination the scale appears black against a bright background. Micrometer scale is 1 mm with 0.01 mm divisions.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Cross Lines Graticle NE8, 16 mm, Nominal line width 0.020 mm
Used as NE50 but for measurements in two directions and for sighting and alignment. Image covers the entire field of view.
Size: 16 mm
Divisions: Nominal line width 0.020 mm
Surface: Chrome image
Electron Microscopy Sciences Omniprobe FIB Lift-Out Grid 5-Post, Copper
Custom copper 5-post lift-out grids specially designed for in-situ lift-out. These grids include multiple indexed mounting locations, all with vertical bars attachment surfaces. Now with lower profile sides for easier access to outermost posts 3 mm diameter.
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences Amray 1400 Pin Stub Slotted 1" head, Aluminum, 1/8" Pin diameter
For use with Amray 1400 scanning electron microscopes. Made from ultra-pure aluminum polished finish with a smooth and luster surface.
Head: 1/2"
Volu Sol Immersion Oil, Type A (Low Viscosity), 16 oz / 500 mL, Volu-Sol™
Types A and B are essentially interchangeable. Oils are miscible with each other, can be mixed for intermediate viscosities. Type A, at 150 centistokes, reduces most tendencies to trap air, being most beneficial to researchers. Air bubbles can cause image degradation. Type B, at 1250 centistokes, is thick enough for viewing multiple slides with one application
Andwin Scientific PROTOSLO QUIETING SOLUTION
The Protoslo Quieting Solution is made to decelerate the movement of protozoa to keep them in focus and in the field of view while also keeping their characteristic motion. This clear, colorless solution is packaged and sold in a 15 mL dropper bottle.
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.
Mesh: 200
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-2/2-4C, 400 mesh Cu
