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
Ted Pella Inc PELCO TEM Grid Holder Block for 25 TEM Grids
The PELCO TEM grid holder blocks are designed to hold a number of TEM grids when they need to cleaned in a glow discharge system such as the PELCO easiGlow system or if they need to be coated in a carbon coater such as the Cressington 208C high vacuum carbon coater. The TEM grid holder blocks are made of a solid piece of vacuum grade aluminum and have recessed positions for each grid with slots for easy loading and lifting the grids with fine pointed tweezers. Each position also has an additional centre recess to avoid any contact with the grid support area and the block. Handling of TEM grids with these blocks is much easier and more secure than using glass slides. The PELCO TEM grid holder blocks are available in two sizes: 25 grids and 81 grids. The larger size is ideal for use coating system with a larger chamber or with rotary-tilting stages.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 70 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.

Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS 1/32" dia Aperture Flamer
For holding aperture discs or strips while flaming. Small discs can be flamed in the 3/16" diameter cup made from 6 mil platinum foil with a 1/32" diameter hole in the bottom to induce a good flow of air. The cup is attached by a 30 mil platinum wire to a heat resistant handle. The aperture can be hung from the hook for flaming.
For holding 1/4" to 1/2" diameter aperture discs while flaming. The flat pan is made from 6 mil platinum foil with a 1/32" diameter hole in the bottom to induce adequate air flow. A 30 mil platinum wire attaches the pan to a heat resistant handle.
