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-2/4-4C, 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 4.0 µm spacing.
Mesh: 400
Material: Copper
Electron Microscopy Sciences Press-To-Seal Clear Silicone Sheet, 0.5 mm thick
Isolate specimens using press-to-seal silicone isolators with removable hydrophobic barriers. Silicone isolators allow researchers to isolate specimens using removable hydrophobic barriers. They may be used to isolate cells grown in culture dishes or separate multiple specimens affixed to microscope slides. Without Adhesive.
Thickness: 0.5 mm
Ethos Biosciences Immersion Oil, High Viscosity, 2oz, Ethos
High Viscosity Immersion Oil is a premium optical medium designed for microscopy applications requiring stable, 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 high-viscosity formulation resists spreading and evaporation, providing a stable oil film that is ideal for prolonged observation, photomicrography, and detailed analytical work. Suitable for clinical, research, educational, and industrial laboratories, it delivers consistent optical performance and reliable results. Supplied in convenient, chemically compatible containers for precise dispensing and storage.
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 EMS Microscope Stage Micrometer SM-6
Chrome on Glass. Linear Reference Scales: Glass Size - 1.5" x 3". Scale Length - 1 inch X & Y axis, 25 mm X-axis only. Divisions- English = 0.0005”; Metric = 10um (0.010 mm, With numerical labeling every 0.1 mm and 0.05”. All EMS micrometers come in a sturdy wooden box.
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating JEOL T7, T8
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 EMS Microscope Stage Micrometer SM-3
SM-3 is useful for calibration of magnification in microscopes and other optical magnification systems. Its auto-location features can be used for testing of an image analysis auto-location system. Chrome on Glass. Linear Reference Scales: Glass Size - 1" x 3". Scale Length - 0.04 inch X & Y axis, 10.0 mm X & Y axis. Divisions- English = 0.0005”; Metric = 10um. With numerical labeling every 0.1 mm and 0.05”. With Calibration.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Linear (X&Y) Stage Micrometer, Model IAM-2
A dual axis linear micrometer that can accurately calibrate both X and Y directions without rotation, for optical magnification, and camera aspect ratio using single standard. In addition, it can be used to calibrate and check linear stage motion or related auto measuring systems. Scales are in both English and Metric measurements.
Ethos Biosciences Immersion Oil, Low Viscosity, 16oz, 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.
