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 Gilder Thin Bar Hexagonal 300 mesh Copper Grid
Thin Bar Grids have been developed using a new technology to produce ultra-fine grids with thinner cross bars than regular grids. The result is equally firm specimen support but with 40% more open area for viewing maximum specimen surface area. 3.05 diameter, 0.8 mil thickness.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 83 µm
Hole: 73 µm
Bar: 10 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Carbon Cohesive Sheet, Tech Grade Points
These conductive cohesive sheets offer good adhesion to the specimen and yield good conductivity and background structures, even with particles as small as 15 microns. Produces minimum gas under vacuum conditions.

Electron Microscopy Sciences MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with 75 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 EMS Platinum Aperture with 30 µm hole, 0.12 mm thick
Platinum apertures are easily cleaned by either an aperture flamer or over a bunsen burner in the open air. We maintain a wide variety of Platinum Drilled Apertures in stock with different configurations suiting all of your needs. Nominal hole diameter: +/- 1 micron. Disc diameter: +/- 10 microns. Disc thickness: +/- 10 microns
Size: 30 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.12 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Crossed Gauge Lines Microscope Graticule NE53, 19mm
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.
Size: 19mm
Divisions: Two vertical lines 0.1 mm apart
Electron Microscopy Sciences Scale with Cross Line Microscope Graticle NE7, 25 mm, 10 mm with 0.1 mm spacing
Used as a horizontal and a vertical scale, they are especially useful when interested in measurement in different axis. Horizontal micrometer scale 10mm long with crosslines at 0.1mm spacing. Surface chrome image.
Size: 25 mm
Divisions: 10 mm with 0.1 mm spacing
Surface: Chrome image

Ted Pella Inc Formvar/Carbon 200 mesh, Nickel, approx. grid hole size: 97µm, 50/pk
A Formvar film covered with a "light" layer of carbon. The heat and electrical conducting properties of carbon help to stabilize the Formvar films when exposed to the electron beam. This is a resilient, all-purpose specimen support film, ideal for mounting thin sections and for applications using lower ranges of magnification.
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Sample Mountant - Dual Use
This extraordinary mountant can be used as a temporary or permanent bond. The pen is composed of a fiber tip, allowing for even and reproducable application, and may be used in all SEM applications. The glue appears blue, however dries to clear. Free from any solvents, the base of the glue is acrylic. Photo safe and acid free.
