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 Gilder Thin Bar Square 2000 mesh Nickel Grid
Very fine mesh grids have up to 2,000 lines/inch. There is an increasing need in TEM for support films, routinely carbon, as thin as 1.5 - 2.0 nm. The pitch (the distance from the center of one bar to the center of the next bar) dimension in all grids remains constant, allowing use as a lower magnification calibration aid.
Apart from one side being shiny, the other matt, there is a large asymmetrical mark in the rim which gives the identification of which side the specimen is on. Grids are 3.05 mm overall diameter; 2.05 mm mesh area diameter.
Grid: Nickel
Pitch: 12.5 µm
Hole: 7.5 µm
Bar: 5 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Scanning Electron Microscope Finder Grid, Nickel
Finder grids for SEM; a valuable tool for analytical studies. The grids are available in 10 mm diameter and they can be placed directly on the stub surface and used to identify the area of interest in which the studies are performed.
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Aluminum Tungsten Dendrites
The various spacings created by the dendritic structure give the gap test, and the topographical arrangement of the dendrites leads to the gray level test. The specimen is non-magnetic, vacuum clean. It is most useful for working in the probe size range of 25 to 75 nm. Supplied unmounted.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Grid Reticle RET 71, 21 mm, 5 mm x 5 mm Scale, 0.5 mm squares Divisions
High quality, precision made standard reticles are manufactured to use with our microscope eyepieces. All recticles are chrome on glass and positive polarity.
Size: 21 mm
Scale: 5 mm x 5 mm
Divisions: 0.5 mm squares
Line width: 25 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating Topcon
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 Hitachi 3-Position Multi-Sample Holder
A single tilt multi-grid holder. Will accommodate 3 grids with easy reproducible movement between each specimen. It is ideal for scanning through serial samples or for comparing against standards. Grids are held in place by easy to remove circlips. Comes complete with loading stand, circlip extraction tool, and is supplied in a mahogany box.
Electron Microscopy Sciences JEOL 2-Position Single Tilt Holder
A single tilt multi-grid holder. Will accommodate 6 grids with an easy click stop reproducible movement between each specimen. It is ideal for scanning through serial sections or for comparing against a standard. Grids are held in place by easy to remove circlips. Comes complete with loading stand, circlip extraction tool, and is supplied in its own mahogany box.
Electron Microscopy Sciences S7 England Finder Slide
S7 is a glass slide 75 mm x 26 mm marked over the top surface in a way that a referenced position can be directly read relative to the locating edges. It is marked with a square grid at 1 mm intervals. Each square contains a center ring bearing reference letters and numbers, the remainder of the square is subdivided into four segments numbered 1 to 4.
Reference numbers run horizontally 1 to 75 and letters vertically A to Z (omitting I). The main locating edge is the bottom of the slide, which is used in conjunction with either the left or right vertical edge of the slide.
Using the finder the position of a field of interest is easily recorded, ite can be relocated by another person when using a England Finder on another microscope. The location of the arrows is identical for all England Finder slides. Mark a label on the left hand side of the specimen slide, indicating the orientation. A total of 100 positions can be accurately located.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Reference Stage Graticule 75 mmx25 mm Slide
High precision image analysis standard provides four test areas for calibrating image analysis systems and identifying deviations and distortions in optical imaging systems. It is produced on a 75 mm x 25 mm slide and has a square grid accuracy of +/-0.1um and a dot accuracy of +/-0.3um.
The four test areas are:
400 um x 400 um square grid subdivided into 200, 100, 50 and 25 micron squares for detecting gross image distortions and can be used as an accurate two dimensional stage micrometer.
A 20 x 17 array of nominally 15 um diameter dots is used to identify lens distortions.
A root-2 array of spots from 3 um to 48 um diameter is used for determining the threshold levels of cameras and microscopes.
A log-normal distribution array of 100 spots ranging from 4.5 um to 27 um diameter enables the mean and standard deviation to be determined and compared with certified values. This is an idealized distribution of maximum dynamic range for a full screen.
