Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro

The Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro is an easy to use, low-power microscope with a 5.0 MP sensor for capturing photos and video of your discoveries. Intended for the discriminating hobbyist or professional, the Handheld Digital Microscope Pro is well suited for jobs such as entomology, industrial quality control, component inspection, medical investigation, scientific research, and forensics documentation—just to name a few.

Magnification

The Handheld Microscope provides low powers from 20x up to 200x and connects to your Macintosh or Windows PC via USB 2.0. (NOTE: Depending on the size of your monitor, you may be able to attain 800x magnification)

This microscope is a low magnification power microscope, mainly suited for examining specimens like stamps, coins, bugs, plants, rocks, skin, gems, circuit boards and other 3D objects. Specimens on slides can be viewed, but this microscope is not ideal for this purpose. 

Original Design

The Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro does not use an eyepiece like a traditional microscope. Instead, the camera sensor “sees” the specimen with 10x magnification, and the image is displayed on the computer screen. This makes viewing fun, cuts down on eye and neck strain, and allows for easy sharing with others. You can hold the microscope in your hand while observing large surfaces away from a normal lab setting, or use the included professional stand for more precise, hands-free viewing.

Software

True 5MP sensor captures and saves high-resolution images, VGA quality video, and time-lapse animations using the included Micro Capture Pro software. You can also take accurate measurements and make notes on your specimens using this intuitive software. An adjustable LED illuminator ensures your specimens are clear and bright, while the fully adjustable, professional stand allows for steady shots even at high magnification.
