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 EMS Dial A Grid-N-Block Storage

Electron Microscopy Sciences TorrLube Bottle Set Torrlube Oil 60 CM3
TorrLube Oil is an extremely pure PFPE (Perfluoropolyalkether ) blend which is thoroughly distilled and then filtered through a submicron screen. TorrLube Oil has the ability to withstand thermal expansion and contraction as well as chemical and mechanical stress, while still maintaining consistent viscosity. These properties make TorrLube the ideal lubricant for bearings, automated slides, and screws that have a tendency to gall or cold weld while working under extreme conditions.
A set of two small bottles, each containing 60cc of TorrLube lubricant. Every bottle comes with a sealed cap. A luer lock cap and a #22 gauge blunt needle are provided for closed application. The bottle set is appropriate for larger manufacturing units and production fabs. Each twin pack of TorrLube 60cc bottles is sealed to prevent leakage and contamination.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Wafer Cleaving Kit
The complete tool set to scribe and cleave cleanly. This is a critical step to getting the best cross-sections. The kit includes two diamond scribes for marking and scribing (straight tip and 30 degree tip), a pen-style diamond scribe, tweezers with black soft fiber fine tip (length 6.25 in), wafer cleaning pliers, a clear plastic ruler with metric and US units, and tungsten cleaving wire. This kit is suitable for a wide variety of substrates and wafers (Si, GaAs, glass).
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating JEOL Inner Rectangle
For optimum viewing, fluorescent screens should be recoated regularly. Viewing screens are easily damaged by the electron beam, especially at high accelerating voltages where knock-on damage can be severe. A proprietary process where 1 to 2 micron particles of phosphor are deposited on the screen and produce the highest possible resolution.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM-Specimen SB50 Grid Box
TEM grid storage box for routine handling and long term storage of 50 standard size TEM grids. Ergonomic design incorporates several features that overcome the disadvantages associated with storage boxes of the more conventional ʽsliding cover' design. Unique number on the face and on one end.
Blue arrow at the 12 o'clock position indicates the park position for the cover when not in use. This is a firm grip "click" position and cannot be moved accidentally, preventing spillage. Clear cover can be rotated smoothly through 360 deg once the slight initial resistance of the park position has been overcome exposing a maximum of 2 or 3 diamond shaped slots at any one time. The 50 diamond shaped slots have an alphanumeric referencing system.
Each box is supplied with an index record card. Designed to be stacked. Base made of ABS-PHAT and cover of CAB.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Grid Storage Box, 100 Capacity
A newly designed grid storage box similar to the original LKB box. Made from a special plastic that minimizes static. Complete with grid recording card.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Grid Storage Box 100-Capacity
100 grids can be stored in identified diamond-shaped wells for daily handling or long-term storage. Complete with grid recording card.
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-2/1-4C, 400 mesh Cu
C-flat is an ultra-flat, holey carbon-coated support grid for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Unlike competing holey carbon films, C-flat is manufactured without plastics, so it is clean upon arrival and the user has no residue to contend with. Made with patent pending technology, C-flat provides an ultra-flat surface that results in better particle dispersion and more uniform ice thickness.
Patterning is done using deep-UV projection lithography, ensuring the most accurate and consistent hole shapes and sizes down to submicron features. The precise methods by which C-flat is manufactured elminate artifacts such as excess carbon and edges around holes.
C-flat holey carbon grids provide the ideal specimen support to achieve high resolution data in making them an ideal choice for cryo single particle analysis, cryo tomography and automated TEM analysis. 2.0 µm holes with 1.0 µm spacing.
Mesh: 400
Material: Copper
Research Products International Corp Fastwells, 19 x 32 mm Diameter, 100ul Volume, 50 per Package
Fastwells form hydrophobic reagent barriers around various size specimens. Ideal for rapid isolation of cells and tissues on slides or coverslips for antibody incubations. Fastwells remain sealed during agitated washing steps to prevent leakage. High tacky silicone material peels off quickly without leaving a residue. Fastwells can be washed and autoclaved.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Double Oyster Grid 100/100, Copper
