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

Ethos Biosciences Immersion Oil, Low Viscosity, 2oz, Ethos
Low Viscosity Immersion Oil is a high-quality optical medium designed for microscopy applications requiring clear, high-resolution imaging. Formulated to match the refractive index of glass, it enhances light transmission and image clarity when used with oil immersion objectives. The low-viscosity formulation allows for easy application, smooth slide movement, and simple cleanup, making it ideal for routine and high-throughput microscopy workflows. Suitable for clinical, research, educational, and industrial laboratories, it provides consistent optical performance and reliable results. Supplied in convenient, chemically compatible containers for precise dispensing and storage.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Round Grid Mats
White silicone rubber mats, with numbered compartments. Good for organizing grids. They will not slide or jump between compartments. Also ideal for staining grids. Easy to pick up grids without damaging forcep tips.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Dial A Grid-N-Block Storage
24 slots labeled with letters from A-X where the grids can be stored and rotated for easy access as well as 3 additional cavities for block storage.
Ted Pella Inc Carbon Film only on 400 mesh, Copper, 50/pk
Carbon films with a thickness of 15-25nm with no Formvar used during manufacturing. Completely free of Formvar. Carbon films are thin and highly transparent to electrons. They exhibit very fine grain and minimal interference with specimen structure. Films are ready to use upon receipt. The pure carbon films tend to be more delicate than support films with a Formvar backing and require more delicate handling during specimen preparation.

Electron Microscopy Sciences C-Flat™ Holey Carbon Grid CF-2/2-2C, 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. 2.0 µm holes with 2.0 µm spacing.
Mesh: 200
Material: Copper
