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 PremaDisk Diamond Grinding Disc SM Medium-Hard Bond, 15 µm Particles, 350 mm diameter
PremaDisk Flexible Diamond Grinding Discs offer superior surface finishes that are usually only seen in lapping processes.
The SM disc is a medium-hard resin bond base for fine grinding and polishing of metals, ceramics and glass.
The SH disc is a hard resin bond base for applications where a very sharp edge must be maintained on the workpiece.
Both discs increase productivity by combining optimum surface quality, removal rates, and tool life in the same process.
Particles: 15 µm
Diameter: 350 mm

The microscope offers planachromatic objectives the ensure no optical distortion. It has a large zoom ratio of 8:1, and a large zoom range of 0.62x-5.0x. It has step and continuous zoom and comes with a 5-year warranty.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Walton & Beckett Graticule G25, 21 mm,
The Walton and Beckett graticule is for counting fibrous dust (asbestos or glass fibers) and particularly where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 microns. The circle is divided into four by two diametrical lines scaled in units of 5 and 3 microns respectively. 3 and 5 microns are the critical measurements of fiber lengths and diameters used in fiber counting. Walton and Beckett include shapes with an aspect ratio of 3:1 or 5:1 for comparing to fibers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The circle on these Walton & Beckett graticules must represent 100 microns at the stage and each one must be manufactured to the individual instrument. Based on the G22. The G25 is produced by the Institute of Occupational Health.
Size: 21 mm
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
Electron Microscopy Sciences Veco Hexagonal with Handle 400 mesh Copper Grid
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.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 63 µm
Hole: 30 µm
Bar: 33 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Gold Aperture with 70 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: 70 µm
O.D.: 3 mm
Thickness: 0.24 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Platinum Aperture with 150 µm hole, 0.12 mm thick
Platinum apertures are easily cleaned by either an aperture flamer or over a bunsen burner in the open air. We maintain a wide variety of Platinum Drilled Apertures in stock with different configurations suiting all of your needs. Nominal hole diameter: +/- 1 micron. Disc diameter: +/- 10 microns. Disc thickness: +/- 10 microns
