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 X-Ray Window Silicon Nitride Film, 500 µm, 100 nm
Ideal substrates for x-ray microscopy and x-ray spectroscopy techniques. State-of-the-art manufacturing and expert engineering allow for competitive prices of these windows. Made in the USA, these X-Ray windows are entirely plasma cleanable to remove organic contamination. Flat, uniformly deposited films provide consistent backgrounds with low field-to-field variability and high x-ray transmission. For high temperature and differential pressure environments.
Dimensions: 500 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences HSE Test Slide S84
This test slide for calibration in asbestos analysis is made in the UK and is under license from the National Physical Laboratory. It is an epoxy replica of a master slide produced and certified by that laboratory. The replicas are mounted on microscope slides of 1.2 mm thickness with cover glass of 0.17 mm thickness. This information is transferred to the accompanying table, which indicates the maximum phase change passing through test objects to test slide. A satisfactory system will detect block 5. Full details are supplied with the slide.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Hexagonal 400 mesh Nickel Grid
Thin Bar Grids have been developed using a new technology to produce ultra-fine grids with thinner cross bars than regular grids. The result is equally firm specimen support but with 40% more open area for viewing maximum specimen surface area. 3.05 diameter, 0.8 mil thickness.
Grid: Nickel
Pitch: 62 µm
Hole: 54 µm
Bar: 8 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating Phillips Small Focusing
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.
