I bought this celestron micro scope before I ever heard of Tomlov. I have a coin group and Zhong Han came to me and asked if I wanted to try a Tomlov after dealing with that cheap made pos Celestron I said hell yeah! Well sorry Celestron last time I will be buying a 20 dollar scope and paying over a hundred for it from you again . As far as I'm concerned Tomlov kicks your ass. 5 mp? pfft you should be ashamed. Thanks Zhong Han for showing me what a real digital scope is. Cant give less than 1 star or would.

I bought this about 5 years ago. It worked great and I liked it. But one day it just stopped working on Windows 10, after a Windows update. Celestron never updated the software. The software that comes with it, and the software on their website both no longer work with Windows.So basically, I paid 100 dollars for a paperweight. Don't take my word for it. Do a search online, many people talking about the same thing with this unit.

This digital microscope is a cool little gadget.Attached are photos of a micro-SD card and ball point pen at different focuses.I'm quite pleased with the quality of the photos.The microscope isn't perfect, however.The first issue I had was with the software. There's a note and a VERY quick "quick start guide" included in the box. The note tells you to visit celestron.com for software downloads. The quick start guide tells you to install Microcapture Pro. There is a LOT of software on their site so it's a bit of a scavenger hunt. I was unable to get the microscope to work with the version I downloaded so I had to open a support ticket with Celestron. They pointed me to a different version of Microcapture Pro that DID work. Apparently there are different versions depending on when the product was manufactured but you have no way of knowing that.Any time you use Microcapture Pro, it tells you to calibrate the microscope with no further instructions as to how to do that. There are no menu options to calibrate.Other than that error, it turns out that the software offers no microscope functionality, though. It's a simple camera viewer. I've switched over to using the Camera app that comes installed on Windows 10. It's just more convenient and efficient and it doesn't throw an error every time I take a photo.It takes a little fiddling to figure out the microscope if you've never used one before (like me) but once you do, it's fun. In my case, it works best with the LED lights turned way down and sometimes using another light pointed to the side for the best imaging.The focus knobs aren't great - since the stand and mounts aren't that solid, every little touch will move the image a little so a little trial and error is sometimes needed.All in all, the brand new price seems a little steep to me, for what it is...But it's fun especially if you can find it as an Amazon Warehouse deal.

Le microscope en lui-même est bien.Néanmoins les molettes de réglage (netteté et luminosité) sont trop dures et dès qu'on veut les utiliser ce foutu pied bouge voire tombe.Le problème est donc le pied fourni avec qui ressemble à une plaisanterie :- instable : il tombe quand on approche trop le microscope- système de blocage / déblocage ridicule : dès qu'on dévisse un peu le microscope tombe- il y a du jeu dans la monture au niveau de l'attache au microscopeIncroyable vu le prix de fournir un pied aussi indigent.

Hi everyone! I am an Entomologist and I study insects. For this reason I bought this microscope. I always needed one stereomicroscope for studying insects but that's not affordable (very high price ...around lakhs...a good one.). So I was searching for a better option and found this. Many foreign Scientist and researchers use this for teaching Grad students and it is best for it. The reason for buying this microscope is that--- 1.) You can measure your study object with its software which can be downloaded from the Celestron website (mentioned and provided in the box ) 2.) Small and handy 3.) Picture quality is best than anyother digital Microscopes in its range.4.) You can take pictures and videos with it.Some problems which I faced is that....1.) No eye piece and can used only by connecting with the laptop/computer2.) Cannot use with the phone as software only work with the laptop.3.) Without the software it won't work4.) Also while downloading the software two models is given 44308 and 44308 B ..my model is the first one but it didn't worked rather the 2nd model software worked.5.) The maximum Light exposure of it is less what I felt after clicking images. so I used photoshop to brighten the images.

I'm a professional Biologist and have many high quality very expensive microscopes. I needed something small and portable that I could transport even in airline luggage. This USB scope met my needs and exceeded my expectation for picture quality. Very easy to use and set up. My only complaint is that the mount that holds the scope to the base is a little loose and tightening the set screws did not help. This makes focusing a bit tricky because when you let go of the focus knob, there is a physical shift of the scope to out of focus. I've learned to focus very gently and work around this small problem. For the price, this USB scope can't be beat and its rated at the top of its price class in reviews for a reason. My CD manual was out of date and did not contain the proper method of calibration. I contacted on-line tech support, no wait time, and received chat instructions how to do the calibration. Now, the calibration is for those measuring the dimensions of the object they are viewing. Some have complained that the calibration needs to be done for each image, and that's pretty standard for almost all of these USB scopes. If you don't need precise measurements on objects, you don't need to bother with calibrating, just enjoy the clear images!

I ordered this Celestron USB microscope after I ordered a $19 off brand one from Ebay. I take pictures of the stamped bases of Civil War bullets and the resolution of the $19 version was just not satisfactory - plus, the software was all in Chinese, the included disc wouldn't load the software to run it so I had to find it online and felt it was "iffy" (I wasn't sure if it was trustworthy). Got it working, but it just didn't give the images I wanted. Initiated a return and they offered me a $3 refund to just keep it (I don't want it).I immediately ordered the Celestron, it arrive the next day, plug and play - so simple and the results are great. Yes, it was $50 more, but well worth the price. I am a very satisfied customer

It is exactly as advertised on Amazon. It was easy to assemble (a seven year old could do it less that two minutes) I downloaded the software to my MAC (running OS X Yosemite, does not have a CD reader) from the Celestron website with no issues whatsoever. it gives clear, sharp, easy to focus full screen images (my MAC has a 27 inch monitor) and takes crisp photos that are easy to manage.I have used it to photograph mites and rust from my garden vegetables and flowers. It also was very useful in removing a splinter from my finger.

Das Gerät und die Teile sind dem Preis entsprechend sehr gut bis gut verarbeitet. Die Software von Celestron ist intuitiv und ich denke der Support wird von dieser Firma (da es sich nicht um eine No-Name Company handelt) auch noch länger sichergestellt sein.Unter Windows 8.1 x64 läuft alles problemlos. Handheld Mikroskope gibt es auch günstiger und ohne Tischständer, dieser erweist sich aber beim Scharfstellen als sehr nützlich. Man kann kaum die exakte Entfernung zu einem zu untersuchenden Objekt gleich halten, während man mit der anderen Hand scharfstellt und dann noch den Auslöser für das Foto (ich mache es in der Software mit der Maus) betätigt.Man darf sich natürlich keine Wunder erwarten was den Schärfebereich angeht, umso höher die Vergrößerung ums geringer wird dieser (gilt für 3D Objekte wie zb Kaffeebohne etc.) Seht dazu auch meine Bilder, die ich hier hochgeladen habe. Ich denke diese geben einen guten ersten Eindruck wie weit man mit dem Gerät gehen kann.Die Vergrößerung hängt natürlich von der Entfernung zum Messobjekt, sowie den Einstellungen an dem Gerät (diese stellen das Bild Scharf und vergrößern teilweise noch) ab.Wer mehr will, muss gemäß dem Gesetz der Wirtschaft (you get what you pay for) auch mehr bezahlen, da ist eigentlich auch klar.Für den Einstieg in die digitale Mikroskopie kann ich es getrost weiter empfehlen! Trotzdem der Hinweis von "dnt" gibt es ein "ähnliches" (vermutlich das gleiche Produkt nur in Schwarz) zu einem günstigeren Preis.

This thing is awesome. I have been using it a year almost now and still it works like the day we bought it. The kids look at super small bugs under it, we did a great micro meteorite project with it for the kids 4th grade science project last year, I also teach and have used it in a couple of different classrooms with the kids to help them research great things like the owl pellets last spring or the plant fibers this fall. I know things do not last forever but this one seems to be built fairly well, has a great base to it and a great lighting system. You will enjoy every moment of your time with it (especially if its with your child).
