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
Cole-Parmer Meiji Techno MA523 Microscope Eyepiece Reticle, crosshair pattern
Use these micrometers to make quick and accurate measurements of your specimen. Eyepiece reticles are available with a crosshair scale or a 10 mm scale in 0.1 mm divisions; stage micrometers are available with a 1 mm scale in 0.01 mm divisions or with a 0.04" scale in 0.001" divisions. Use stage micrometers with any microscope.

Electron Microscopy Sciences Wafer Cleaving Kit
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).

Electron Microscopy Sciences Walton & Beckett Graticule G24, 21 mm, 5:1 ratio
The Walton and Beckett graticule is for counting fibrous dust (asbestos or glass fibers) and particularly where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 microns. The circle is divided into four by two diametrical lines scaled in units of 5 and 3 microns respectively. 3 and 5 microns are the critical measurements of fiber lengths and diameters used in fiber counting. Walton and Beckett include shapes with an aspect ratio of 3:1 or 5:1 for comparing to fibers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The circle on these Walton & Beckett graticules must represent 100 microns at the stage and each one must be manufactured to the individual instrument. 5:1 ratio is useful where the majority of fibers to be counted are shorter than 5 um.
Size: 21 mm
Electron Microscopy Sciences PremaDisk S-EC Diamond Grinding Disc, 250 mm diameter, 6µm 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.
Diameter: 250 mm
Particles: 6µm
Electron Microscopy Sciences V-2 Quality, 9.5 mm diameter, 0.15- 0.21 mm thick
EMS Mica Sheets offer a clean surface for EM applications, carbon filming and particle spraying, as well as for AFM applications. There are two types of mica: muscovite and phlogopite. Generally, one differs from the other by color (Muscovite is Ruby, Green or White; Phlogopite is Amber, Yellow, or Silver). The maximum operating temperature for Muscovite is about 500-600 degree C and for Phlogopite is about 800-900 degree C. Our line consists of High Quality Muscovite Mica. This mica peels off very thin up to 0.0001" uniform layers, exposing "virgin" mica upon splitting.Muscovite, potash type mica, sometimes known as granitic mica, is the best of all micas in dielectric strength, perfection of cleavage, and transparency. It has the chemical formula: H2KAI3(Si04)3. Clear and Slightly Stained. Hard, uniform color, nearly flat and slight crystallographic discoloration.Quality: V-2Size: 9.5 mm diaThickness: 0.15- 0.21 mm
