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 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 TEM Screen Recoating Phillips Alignment
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 Embra Grid with 2 x 1 mm Slot, Molybdnum
EMBRA electroformed grids combine a high open area with a rigid construction which allows for relatively easy handling. 3.05 mm diameter, 50 micron thick for oval hole grids.
I.D.: 2 x 1 mm
Material: Molybdnum
Electron Microscopy Sciences Pharmaceutical PSA Pattern Graticle G-57, 21 mm, Glass sandwich
This graticule was designed for the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is also useful where particle size considerations are restricted to 10 mm and 25 mm. Dots and circles give quick references for these two sizes. In addition a scale is incorporated. The microscope must be calibrated when ordering this graticule, such that the circle must equate to 1 mm on the microscope stage.
Size: 21 mm
Surface: Glass sandwich
Electron Microscopy Sciences Pharmaceutical PSA Pattern Graticle G-57, 19 mm, Glass sandwich
This graticule was designed for the pharmaceutical industry. However, it is also useful where particle size considerations are restricted to 10 mm and 25 mm. Dots and circles give quick references for these two sizes. In addition a scale is incorporated. The microscope must be calibrated when ordering this graticule, such that the circle must equate to 1 mm on the microscope stage.
Size: 19 mm

Electron Microscopy Sciences Microscope Graticule NE5 Horizontal, 16 mm, 5 mm with 0.05 mm subdivisions
These scales are used for the measuring of lengths of specimen or distances between points on a variety of different shaped objects. By dividing the division of the chosen graticule by the magnification of the objective one obtains an approximate value that each division will represent on the stage. Vertical micrometer scale.
Size: 16 mm
