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 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.

Structure Probe Inc HOPG SPI Supplies Brand Grade SPI-2 10x10x1 mm Thick, Package of 1 Piece
Grade SPI-2. Very similar to ZYB(see below), this grade exhibits a mosaic angle as small as 0.8° +/- 0.2°. This grade is slightly less highly ordered than SPI-1 but is acceptable for most users. The lateral grain size can be up to 0.5 mm but can be as large as 1 mm. Note that this grade is slightly less "cleavable" than the 0.4° mosaic spread product, that is, SPI-1. Most workers find this grade more than suitable for all but the most critical samples, but priced low enough for routine use. Some users prefer this grade to SPI-1 because the cleavage steps are slightly wavy, so samples are held in place better (e.g. better adhesion). Dimensions = 10 mm x 10 mm x 1 mm

Sutter Instruments Micromanipulators
Right-handed micromanipulator with vertical lock with 1/2 inch rod clamps. The MM-33 is the right choice for tight environments which require maximum versatility within a small space. Stainless steel cross-loaded roller bearings are designed to offer low friction and smooth linear motion with a minimum of side play. The pre-loaded rollers are set at 90 degrees to the hardened steel guides insuring constant contact and accuracy. This precise rack and pinion drive gives stable, drift-free movement with minimal backlash. The controls are placed one above the other which makes for less hand movement and easier positioning. The scales for all axes are calibrated in 0.10mm increments and the fine micrometer adjustment for the X-axis thrust is calibrated at 0.01mm with estimates to 5μm.
Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 1 well with 520 µl volume
CoverWell Perfusion Chambers allows up to 16 different specimens on one coverglass. "Press-to-Seal" covers form water-tight, multiwall cell incubation or cytochemistry chamber when pressed to coverslips or microscope slides. Reagents can be quickly added and removed through dual access ports (1.5 mm Dia) without disturbing or cross-contaminating specimens in adjacent wells. Chambers are removable for permanent mounting of specimens. CoverWell chambers are made from medical grade silicone bonded to clear, UV transparent plastic.
