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 New Porton Graticle NG12, 19mm
The NG12 is particularly useful since the array of globes and circles are conveniently close to where the particles pass. At the end of each band of the sample the mechanical stage is traversed vertically to take in the next band until the whole sample has been covered.
Size: 19 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Platinum Aperture with 50 µm hole, 0.24 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
Size: 50 µm
O.D.: 3 mm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Sterilization Tray with Silicone Mat & Lid
Perforated sterilizing tray is made from high strength Ultem plastic. The tray has a silicone mat which provides flexibility in the placement of the instruments for sterilization. A unique "grid" system exists in the base, tray and lid, making it easy to install the mat required, protecting your instruments properly. The trays are stackable and they have integral feet in base and corner ridges on lids which allow for easier handling in the autoclave and for storage.
All bases have pebble-type surface to keep mats from sticking.
Size: 254 x 152.4 x 38 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS Platinum Aperture with 60 µm hole, 0.12 mm thick

Electron Microscopy Sciences Magnetic Pick-up Tool for AFM
Retrieve your discs from their carrier with this magnetic pick-up tool. Made with a plastic handle, a stainless steel shaft and a magnetic pad at the tip. Your fingers never need to touch the disc.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Tripod Polisher Model 590, Kit for TEM
The Tripod Polisher is used to prepare accurately micro sizes of TEM and SEM samples. For TEM samples, the Tripod Polisher iis used to limit ion milling times to less than 15 minutes, and in some cases, has eliminated the need for ion milling. It can be used to prepare both plan-view and cross-sections from a variety of sample materials, such as ceramics, composites, metals, and geological specimens. It has limited ion milling requirements that reduce preferential thinning, radiation damage, and heating of the sample. No strong chemicals are used to prepare the specimen.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Maxtaform Oval Hole Grid 2 x 1 mm hole, Nickel
High Grade Maxtaform grids with clean and smooth edges, firm support, and a large open area. 3 mm diameter, 0.75 mil thickness.
Size: 2 x 1 mm
Material: Nickel
Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Screen Recoating Siemens Outer, Crescent, Outer Field
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.
