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
Alkali Scientific Mineral Oil, Light, 4 Liters
Mineral Oil, Light is a low-viscosity, clear liquid commonly used in laboratory applications. This 4-liter bottle of mineral oil is used as a solvent, lubricant, and stabilizing agent in various experiments and industrial processes. Its light formulation ensures minimal interference with chemical reactions while providing necessary coverage and protection. Ideal for use in microscopy, sample preservation, and other procedures requiring a non-reactive liquid with low volatility. The oil is particularly valuable for applications that demand a stable, non-toxic medium, and it helps reduce sample contamination or evaporation.

ibidi Anti-Evaporation Oil is a biocompatible silicone oil used to prevent medium evaporation in cell culture applications. sterile, 125 ml
Ibidi USA µ-Slide Rack
µ-Slide Rack is a rack for storage and handling of 8 ibidi µ-slides or standard glass slides. It allows for easy slide tranportation from incubator to work bench. black, aluminum
McCrone Accessories Tungsten Needle Holder, 1 each
Tungsten needles are used for particle manipulation, but they can also be used when working with embryos and for glass blowing.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Aperture Grid with Single 800 µm hole, Nickel
Single Slot aperture grids have a thickness of are 50 microns. Aperture diameter is 800 um.
Material: Nickel
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 Veco Grid L2x1, Nickel with 2000 x 1000 µm Oval Slot
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.
Slot: 2000 x 1000 µm
Material: Nickel
Electron Microscopy Sciences Gilder Thin Bar Square 600 mesh Copper 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. With 5 µm bars more of the specimen can be viewed then in standard grids.
Grid: Copper
Pitch: 42 µm
Hole: 37 µm
Bar: 5 µm

Electron Microscopy Sciences TEM Specimen Supports Molybdenum GS2 x 1
We have extended our range of TEM grid materials to include four types, which are now available in Molybdenum. The new products are manufactured using a process known as chemical ʽmilling' (etching) instead of the more familiar technique of ʽelectroforming' (deposition) that is used in the manufacture of copper, nickel and gold products. Molybdenum is used principally in applications where it's high temperature, hardness, expansion of coefficient and corrosion resistance characteristics are considered important. The material which is used has a purity of 99.9%.
Hole: 2 x 1 mm
Thickness: 50 µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences Cellometer™ Disposable Counting Chamber, Plastic Base
These Disposable Cell Counters are an enclosed chamber with two ports for sample introduction. The chamber contains precisely spaced lines in a grid pattern. There are two counting chambers per slide for replicates. The counting grid pattern is the Improved Neubauer, as in a common Hemacytometer. The consistent pattern design allows the standard cell counting procedure to be followed.
