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 Square 1500 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: 16.5 µm
Hole: 11.5 µm
Bar: 5 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Miller Squares Graticle NE57, 25 mm, 9:1 Large to small square
The ratio of large to small squares is 9:1. Originally designed for hematology, they can be utilized for rapid counting of any evenly spread field of particle. References: American J. of Clin. Pathol. Vol.20, 1950, page 1079. "Time Saving Device For Counting Reticulocyte." G.Brescher and Schneiderman. Practicle Haemotology – J.D. Dacy. Published by J.A. Churchill. 2nd Edition 1956 page 25.
Size: 25 mm
Divisions: 9:1 Large to small square
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Micrometer S8, Horizontal Scale, 1 mm Length
Stage graticules are used for the routine calibration of eyepiece patterns, particularly when alternating between objectives on one microscope or when using the same graticule in different microscopes. Their robust construction makes them ideal for student use and for instructional purposes. The scale or grid is centered on a glass disc mounted in a black anodized aluminum slide 75 mm x 24 mm x 2 mm thick.
Scale: Horizontal
Length: 1 mm
Divisions: 100 each 0.01 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Visio-Tek™ Digital Wi-Fi/USB High Resolution Polarized Microscope, 10x ~ 200x magnification
Visio-tek digital portable imaging solutions utilize both Wi-Fi and USB transmission and can be connected to iOS and Android smartphones or tablets via the dedicated Visio-tek App, as well as to Windows or Mac computers or laptops through a Wi-Fi/USB connection. Using theVisio-tek free software and application, you can capture, store pictures and video, and take measurements. Flexible, cost effective and user-friendly. Visio-tek microscopes allow Wi-Fi inspections anywhere an image magnification is required. The polarizer decreases glare resulting in a darker, sharper image, with increased contrast. 5 mp resolution (USB mode).
Magnification: 10x ~ 200x
Focus range: 8 ~ 450 mm
Light source: 8 White LEDs
Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE41 Horizontal, 21 mm, 10 mm with 200 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: 21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences JEOL SEM Cylinder Mount 2" surface, 1/4" height, Aluminum
Cylinder specimen mounts are for use with JEOL scanning electron microscopes. The mounts are made from ultra-pure aluminum with a standard lathe finish.
Head: 2"
Height: 1/4"
Structure Probe Inc HOPG SPI Supplies Brand Grade SPI-2 10x10x1 mm Thick, Package of 1 Piece
Grade SPI-2. Very similar to ZYB(see below), this grade exhibits a mosaic angle as small as 0.8° +/- 0.2°. This grade is slightly less highly ordered than SPI-1 but is acceptable for most users. The lateral grain size can be up to 0.5 mm but can be as large as 1 mm. Note that this grade is slightly less "cleavable" than the 0.4° mosaic spread product, that is, SPI-1. Most workers find this grade more than suitable for all but the most critical samples, but priced low enough for routine use. Some users prefer this grade to SPI-1 because the cleavage steps are slightly wavy, so samples are held in place better (e.g. better adhesion). Dimensions = 10 mm x 10 mm x 1 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SH Hard Bond, 3 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: 3 µm
Diameter: 350 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Press-To-Seal Clear Silicone Sheet, 1.6 mm thick
Isolate specimens using press-to-seal silicone isolators with removable hydrophobic barriers. Silicone isolators allow researchers to isolate specimens using removable hydrophobic barriers. They may be used to isolate cells grown in culture dishes or separate multiple specimens affixed to microscope slides. Without Adhesive.
Thickness: 1.6 mm
