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 Crossed Gauge Lines Microscope Graticule NE 54, 21mm
Use as crossed lines, but for the measuring of distances between thelines. Greater accuracy can be obtained by locatng the specimen detail between the graticules gauge pair.

Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-2/4-2C, 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. 2.0 µm holes with 4.0 µm spacing.
Mesh: 200
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences Calibration Specimen 300-2D, Unmounted
SPM calibration specimens are produced by holographic fabrication that assures high accuracy and precision. The standards provide easier testing of your SPM, improved accuracy of critical dimension measurements and accuracy of 0.5% (1 std. dev.). The pattern height of greater than 100nm provides excellent image contrast. There is uniform coverage of entire chip which allows for imaging anywhere on the chip. 300-2D, pattern: array of posts, nominal pitch: 300 nm, material: W-coated photoresist on Si.
Mount: Unmounted
Ted Pella Inc Grid Storage Box for 100 Grids, with a Record Card
Intended for use in both routine grid handling and long term grid storage. Holds 100 transmission electron microscopy grids. Each of the diamond shaped compartments will accept a standard 3.05mm grid. Each position has a letter and number molded into the surface of the box. To further ease grid handling, the plastics are anti-static treated. A central access position in the lid reduces the number of grids exposed when selecting any particular grid. Dimensions: 85 x 59 x 7mm. A record card is supplied free with each SB 100 grid box. The folding card has a durable coated exterior and the interior is suitable for writing with normal pen or pencil.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gold perforated support foil with pre-defined hole size, shape and arrangement. It has advantages in cryo electron microscopy reducing the movement of frozen specimens leading to better 3D reconstructions.
Newly developed ultrastable gold supports for electron cryomicroscopy will reduce the movement of frozen specimens during imaging. This improves image contrast and quality leading to better 3D reconstructions with less data. During imaging at cryo-temperatures, traditional carbon supports move, particularly at the beginning of irradiation. This movement blurs images and makes it difficult to determine the structures of small and challenging molecules.UltrAuFoilswere designed at MRC's Laboratory of Molecular Biology by Dr. Christopher J. Russo and Dr. Lori A. Passmore.
Electron Microscopy Sciences P47 Scintillator for Zeiss SEM, 12.0 x 1 mm
They are coated with a thin layer of well selected P47 phosphor (Y1Si2O7:Ce3+; yttrium silicate activated with cerium), and have a high signal output and a good working life. They need not be coated with aluminum prior to use unless cathodoluminescence studies are required. Use on Zeiss SEM.
