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 Formvar Support Film 5-6 nm thick on Square 400 mesh Copper Grid
Support Film on grids has become a main product line for us since the demand for high quality coated grids has increased. To make your microscopy work easier and to save you a great deal of time we offer you a complete line. All of our coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the EM. Packed in grid storage box. Standard coating is 5 to 6 nm thick.
Grid: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences Formvar/Carbon Film 10 nm/1 nm thick on Square 150 mesh Gold Grid
A formvar coated grid, stabilized with evaporated carbon film. This type of coating is excellent for specimen support, especially for ultra thin sections. All of our coated grids are optically checked followed by batch testing in the EM. Packed in grid storage box. NOTE: All of our film is laid on the shiny side of the grid. Formvar is approximately 10 nm thick with 1 nm of carbon.
Grid: Gold
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.
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.
Med Vet International Foley Catheter 30Cc X 14Fr, Each
An innovative manufacturing process provides the maximum amount of silicone coating available. Latex catheter coated internally and externally in 100% silicone to resist encrustation and bacterial colonization. Two-way Foley. Sterile.
Mitegen NVH Oil, 4 oz Bottle, Very High Viscosity, For Room & Variable-Temperature Diffraction, Minimizes Crystal Motion, Low Scatter
NVH Oil is a very high viscosity oil expertly formulated for optimal performance in room and variable-temperature diffraction measurements. This specialized oil minimizes crystal motion during data collection, even when applied in thick layers to prevent dehydration, ensuring superior sample stability. It serves as an excellent vapor barrier, safeguarding delicate crystals. Highly effective in removing external solvent, NVH Oil prevents ice ring formation during cooling, a critical step for high-quality data. Protein crystals prepared with this oil can be slowly cooled to 100 K without appreciable degradation of diffraction properties, enabling data collection at arbitrary temperatures. Crucially, this oil exhibits minimal background scatter and does not form diffraction rings when cooled, ensuring cleaner experimental results. Supplied in a 4 fl. oz. bottle, NVH Oil is an indispensable tool for achieving high-resolution diffraction data.

Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 30 µm hole, 2 mm O.D., 0.53 mm thick
Advanced techniques of thin metal film application permits the apertures to retain a clean hole edge during prolonged beam exposure. Ultra-thin, half-micron design discourages contaminant accumulation and stabilizes astigmatic conditions to provide longer life. Conventional mechanical cleaning involving costly down-time is no longer necessary. Because the foil is ultra thin, care must be taken when handling the gold foil apertures.
