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 TEM Screen Recoating Siemens Intermediate
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 EMS Tungsten Loop Filament New, Philips, FEI
Our Electron microscope Tungsten filaments have a rigid attachment of the filament wire to the post with no possiblity of waving and a minimum tip radius for a coherent beam. The base assembly of all of our new filaments are guaranteed to be rebuildable for the lifetime of the electron beam instrument. Inspected for consistent quality and performance before being shipped to you. Return the base and we will rebuild the filament.
Use: Philips, FEI
Electron Microscopy Sciences SEM Pin Stub Adapter, 10 mm
A simple to use adapter which will convert Hitachi, JEOL or ISI microscopes to use 1/8" pin stubs or Cambridge stubs. Made of aluminum with spring retainers which will give a good connection.
Electron Microscopy Sciences Crossed Gauge Lines Microscope Graticule NE 54, Custom
Use as crossed lines, but for the measuring of distances between thelines. Greater accuracy can be obtained by locatng the specimen detail between the graticules gauge pair.
Size: Custom
Divisions: Two vertical lines 0.2 mm apart
Electron Microscopy Sciences S60 Howard Cell for Fruit Juices
The Howard cell is a glass slide 76 mm x 35 mm with a central circular island and is used for counting mold fibers and spores in fruit juices, especially from tomatoes. With the K20 coverglass in place a 0.1 mm thickness of liquid is contained over the central island. The coverglass has 25 calibrated fields of 1.382 mm diameter through which to view the particles. This coverglass removes the necessity of precise adjustment of the microscope and eyepiece graticule in the original Howard method.
Electron Microscopy Sciences CoverWell™ Perfusion Chamber 8 well with 60 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.
Volume: 60 µl

Electron Microscopy Sciences MicroMounts™ Crystal Tool with 75 µm Aperture and SPINE pin
MicroMounts are the high performance tools for manipulating and mounting protein crystals, virus crystals, and small molecule/inorganic crystals, and other small, fragile samples. They are ideal for both conventional and high-throughput X-ray crystallography applications.
Each consist of a thin (7.5um thick) micro-fabricated polyimide film, attached to a solid non-magnetic stainless steel pin. Film is wrapped around the steel pin and it provides excellent stiffness and convenient scoop-like action in retrieving and handling crystals.
Aperture: SPINE pin
Electron Microscopy Sciences Wafer Cleaving Kit with Mat
The complete tool set to scribe and cleave cleanly. This is a critical step to getting the best cross-sections. The kit includes two diamond scribes for marking and scribing (straight tip and 30 degree tip), a pen-style diamond scribe, tweezers with black soft fiber fine tip (length 6.25 in), wafer cleaning pliers, a clear plastic ruler with metric and US units, and tungsten cleaving wire. This kit is suitable for a wide variety of substrates and wafers (Si, GaAs, glass). Includes 12x18 in wafer mat.
Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk S-EC Diamond Grinding Disc, 200 mm diameter, 60µm Particles
These new universal grinding pads for all magnetic systems will replace 200-300 SiC paper discs saving you not only preparation time, but also money. The very high stock removal rate results in fast and clean mounting. Thickness of 0.2 mm with a non-erosion backing. Only water coolant is needed. Replacement for Piano, Cameo, Galaxy, and Apex DGD.
