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 Paterson Globes and Circles Graticle NG1, 16mm

Electron Microscopy Sciences NIGHTSEA™ Eclipse MicroTent
The Eclipse MicroTent provides local darkness around conventional laboratory stereo microscopes that are using a fluorescence adapter. Fluorescence can be weak and can be difficult to see well if there is ambient light. The tent is ideal for sheilding microscopes on lab benches in shared spaces, near windows, or in other difficult-to-darken locations such as in the field. Easy access to the sample stage and the focus and zoom controls is maintained. It is designed for stereo microscopes but could potentially be used with many varieties of compound microscopes.
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 EMS Strip Aperture Hitachi, 30-20-20-70 µm holes, 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm
Strip apertures made from Platinum-Iridium (95:5).
Holes: 30-20-20-70 µm
Dimensions: 41.0 x 4.0 x 0.10 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-MH-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.
Mesh: 200
Material: Copper

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gold perforated support foil with pre-defined hole size, shape and arrangement. It has advantages in cryo electron microscopy reducing the movement of frozen specimens leading to better 3D reconstructions.
Newly developed ultrastable gold supports for electron cryomicroscopy will reduce the movement of frozen specimens during imaging. This improves image contrast and quality leading to better 3D reconstructions with less data. During imaging at cryo-temperatures, traditional carbon supports move, particularly at the beginning of irradiation. This movement blurs images and makes it difficult to determine the structures of small and challenging molecules.UltrAuFoilswere designed at MRC's Laboratory of Molecular Biology by Dr. Christopher J. Russo and Dr. Lori A. Passmore.
