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
World Precision Instrument Pre-polarizer for Nitric Oxide Sensors
Keep extra NO sensors ready to use
Achieve a stable background current quickly. This small battery-powered device applies a potential to the NO electrode equivalent to the potential applied by the ISO-NO meter. Consequently, a sensor which has been connected to the activator may be transferred to the meter for immediate use. For use with all WPI NO electrodes.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Square 2000 mesh Copper Grid
Very fine mesh grids have up to 2,000 lines/inch. There is an increasing need in TEM for support films, routinely carbon, as thin as 1.5 - 2.0 nm. The pitch (the distance from the center of one bar to the center of the next bar) dimension in all grids remains constant, allowing use as a lower magnification calibration aid.
Apart from one side being shiny, the other matt, there is a large asymmetrical mark in the rim which gives the identification of which side the specimen is on. Grids are 3.05 mm overall diameter; 2.05 mm mesh area diameter.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 12.5 µm
Hole: 7.5 µm
Bar: 5 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Veco Square Mesh Handle 111HDspec, Copper
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.
Grid: Copper
Hole: 190 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PS4 Micrometer Standard with UKAS 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 UKAS accredited laboratory carries out measurements at selected points on the scales and grids and issues a calibration certificate.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Strip Aperture, 20-60-100 µm holes, 10.0 x 2.5 x 0.10 mm
Strip apertures made from Platinum-Iridium (95:5).
Holes: 20-60-100 µm
Dimensions: 10.0 x 2.5 x 0.10 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE31 Horizontal, 21 mm, 0.5" with 100 divisions of 0.0005"
These scales are used for the measuring of lengths of specimen or distances between points on a variety of different shaped objects. By dividing the division of the chosen graticule by the magnification of the objective one obtains an approximate value that each division will represent on the stage. Horizontal micrometer scale.
Size: 21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with 150 µm Aperture and 11 mm pin
MicroMounts are the high performance tools for manipulating and mounting protein crystals, virus crystals, and small molecule/inorganic crystals, and other small, fragile samples. They are ideal for both conventional and high-throughput X-ray crystallography applications.
Each consist of a thin (7.5um thick) micro-fabricated polyimide film, attached to a solid non-magnetic stainless steel pin. Film is wrapped around the steel pin and it provides excellent stiffness and convenient scoop-like action in retrieving and handling crystals.
Aperture: 11 mm pin
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE28 Horizontal, 19 mm, 1 mm with 100 subdivisions
These scales are used for the measuring of lengths of specimen or distances between points on a variety of different shaped objects. By dividing the division of the chosen graticule by the magnification of the objective one obtains an approximate value that each division will represent on the stage. Horizontal micrometer scale.
Size: 19 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SM Medium-Hard Bond, 15 µm Particles, 350 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: 15 µm
Diameter: 350 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Double Oyster Grid 50/50, Copper
Double grids are used mostly in metallurgical applications for supporting thin metal foils. These grids have a curved securing tab which folds to the curvature of the 'sandwiched' grid. 3.05 mm diameter, 0.7 mil (18um) thickness.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Walton & Beckett Graticule G25, 21 mm,
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. Based on the G22. The G25 is produced by the Institute of Occupational Health.
