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 V-2 Quality, 50 x 75 mm, 0.15- 0.21 mm thick
EMS Mica Sheets offer a clean surface for EM applications, carbon filming & particle spraying, as well as for AFM applications. There are 2 types of mica: muscovite & phlogopite. Generally, one differs from the other by color (Muscovite is Ruby, Green or White; Phlogopite is Amber, Yellow, or Silver). The max operating temp for Muscovite is about 500-600 deg C & for Phlogopite is about 800-900 deg C. Our line consists of High Quality Muscovite Mica. This mica peels off very thin up to 0.0001" uniform layers, exposing "virgin" mica upon splitting.
Muscovite, potash type mica, sometimes known as granitic mica, is the best of all micas in dielectric strength, perfection of cleavage, & transparency. It has the chem formula: H2KAI3(Si04)3. Clear & Slightly Stained. Hard, uniform color, nearly flat & slight crystallographic discoloration. Very slight air inclusions & not more than 1/4 of usable area.
Quality: V-2
Size: 50 x 75 mm
Thickness: 0.15- 0.21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences New Porton Graticle NG12, 16mm
The NG12 is particularly useful since the array of globes and circles are conveniently close to where the particles pass. At the end of each band of the sample the mechanical stage is traversed vertically to take in the next band until the whole sample has been covered.
Size: 16 mm
KLARMANN RULINGS INC Stage Micrometer 2 mm, 0.01 mm
2mm Stage micrometer with 200 divisions. Available in glass or reflected light stage micrometer.
Leica Biosystems MIXING STATION
BOND Mixing Stations are reusable inserts with six vials for mixing and catalyzing chromogens prior to slide application.Fresh chromogen promotes high quality staining.Replacing the mixing stations at recommended intervals ensures that the mixed chromogen does not become contaminated.
Leica Biosystems IHC SUPER BLOCKING 110ML
IHC/ISH Super Blocking is specially formulated to stabilize antibodies and eliminate background encountered in immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) procedures. The diluent contains complex protein and non-protein mixtures that eliminate background by blocking non-specific protein-protein interactions. It is particularly recommended for staining of mouse tissues with mouse primary antibodies. It can also be used as a diluent for primary antibodies. If primary antibodies are diluted in this solution, a blocking step before primary antibodies can be omitted.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Low-Intensity Bulb
Has a rated life of 6000 hours, use with Low-Intensity UV Lamp #72422 and 72423.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Pharmaceutical PSA Pattern Graticle G-57, 27 mm, Glass sandwich
This graticule was designed for the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is also useful where particle size considerations are restricted to 10 mm and 25 mm. Dots and circles give quick references for these two sizes. In addition a scale is incorporated. The microscope must be calibrated when ordering this graticule, such that the circle must equate to 1 mm on the microscope stage.
Size: 27 mm
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences Walton & Beckett Graticule G22, 24.5 mm, 3:1 ratio
The Walton and Beckett graticule is for counting fibrous dust (asbestos or glass fibers) and particularly where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 microns. The circle is divided into four by two diametrical lines scaled in units of 5 and 3 microns respectively. 3 and 5 microns are the critical measurements of fiber lengths and diameters used in fiber counting. Walton and Beckett include shapes with an aspect ratio of 3:1 or 5:1 for comparing to fibers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The circle on these Walton & Beckett graticules must represent 100 microns at the stage and each one must be manufactured to the individual instrument. 3:1 ratio is useful where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 um.
Size: 24.5 mm
