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 100 mesh Nickel Grid

Packed in grid storage box. Standard coating is 5 to 6 nm thick.
Grid: Nickel
Electron Microscopy Sciences Embra Finder 400 mesh Grid, Gold
Standard 3.05 mm diameter grids which have one straight and one round cut out from the rim which assists in the orientation of the grid.
Grid: Gold
Electron Microscopy Sciences Formvar Support Film 5-6 nm thick on Square 200 mesh Gold 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: Gold
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Formvar/Silicon Monoxide Film on 400 mesh Nickel Grid
A formvar film stabilized with a thin film of Silicone monoxide. Silicone monoxide produces a desirable support film because it offers low background contrast and it is stable under the electron beam and it is more hydrophilic than carbon film. 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.
Grid: Nickel
Electron Microscopy Sciences Veco Parallel Bar w/ Divider Handle R100D, 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 and 0.8 mil thickness.
Material: Copper
Pitch: 250 µm
Hole: 200 µm
Bar: 50 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PS1 Micrometer Standard with Graticules 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 Certificate of Comparison from Pyser-SGI, Graticules Division compares the scale to a NPL calibrated in-house standards. A statemen is provided on the accuracy of the item with respect to these standards.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Pharmaceutical PSA Pattern Graticle G-57, 21 mm, Glass sandwich
This graticule was designed for the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is also useful where particle size considerations are restricted to 10 mm and 25 mm. Dots and circles give quick references for these two sizes. In addition a scale is incorporated. The microscope must be calibrated when ordering this graticule, such that the circle must equate to 1 mm on the microscope stage.
Size: 21 mm
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 25 µm hole, 3 mm O.D., 0.24 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.
Size: 25 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Hitachi S-450 M4 Mount 3-Division 5/8", 1/4" height, Aluminum
Hitachi S-450 SEM mounts with M4 tapered hole and female thread. With 3 divisions. Made from ultra-pure aluminum with standard lathe finish.
Head: 5/8"
Height: 1/4"
Electron Microscopy Sciences Stage Micrometer S48, 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.
Length: 1 mm
Divisions: 100 each 0.01 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences ULTRAPOL Basic Manual Polisher
Manual polishing tool for delayering and/or crosssectioning results on a very tight budget. Works with all 8" (200 mm) surfaces. Features a small footprint, speed control and high torque motor, and coolant speed control. Configured for 100-220/240V operation. 0-500 RPM.
