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 C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-1.2/1.3-2C, 200 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. 1.2 µm holes with 1.3 µm spacing.

Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Conductive Gold-Paste 2 GR
This EMS Conductive Gold-Paste is a one part adhesive. Fast drying–dries at room temperature. Maximum service temperature is 65 degree C. This adhesive is not for permanent use, useful for testing and temporary work where a high signal is required from the adhesive. Gold content is ~75%, including sphere sizes < 2 um, and flake size <10 um, in organic binders and a solvent. Keep refrigerated for good shelf life. Sheet resistance is 0.02 to 0.05 ohm-cm @ 1 mil thickness.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Calibration Specimen PT, 15 mm steel disk for AFM
SPM calibration specimens are produced by holographic fabrication that assures high accuracy and precision. The standards provide easier testing of your SPM, improved accuracy of critical dimension measurements and accuracy of 0.5% (1 std. dev.). The pattern height of greater than 100nm provides excellent image contrast. There is uniform coverage of entire chip which allows for imaging anywhere on the chip. AFM Phase imaging, PT, pattern: random hard & soft domain as small as 10 nm, nominal pitch: none, material: polymer.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Chessy Test Specimen
This precise SEM calibration specimen consist of more than 1.6 million gold squares of 1 size on silicon forming a 4-fold checkerboard pattern in an area of 5 mm square. The smallest metric checkerboard has a size of 10 x 10. Such checkerboards form larger metric checkerboards of 100 x 100 - These again form checkerboards of 1 mm square. Finally, such 1mm squares are arranged in the same manner covering a field of 5 mm square.
The edges of the empty corners in 0.1 and 1 mm checkerboards are additionally marked. The surrounding frame is 10 wide and has an outer side length of 5.04 mm. The pattern was directly written by e-beam lithography using the new ZBA 31/32 from JENOPTIK.
