Celestron Digital Microscope Review




 
The USB microscope is very easy to use, I fundamentally set up software program from Celestron's internet site and plugged the USB microscope in and was basically viewing gem stone samples after only a couple of minutes. You will find only 2 zoom modes; after you put the microscope directly on top of the specimen you will have a 40x zoom, and then a 150x zoom for getting very close image. Moving about the microscope about and focusing is quite easy. You can use the metal stand to zoom the picture out to 10x.

I picked up this digital camera USB microscope not long ago in order that I could take close-up images of sections insects that have been in my collection. I have read in a couple of websites on the net that it can be hard to aim this digital usb microscope. I can't concur with that. This usb microscope focuses simple and easy and takes good images of my coin collections. If you want for an simple and easy method to capture images of very small parts, this product does a superb task at a really competitive price. The zoom and electronics of this gadget are good for the cost, and it operates well enough to be usable. But the mechanized focus correction is just about ineffective; it requires 2 hands and some muscle to adjust. It's quite challenging given the modest depth of field primarily at higher magnifications.

This digital microscope can be useful in a lot of ways, such as viewing coins, reading very tiny print on labels or instructions, and looking at the miniature world around you. On the other hand there are two factors I would warn other people thinking about purchasing one. Coins or other reflective surfaces, it is difficult to get the light adjusted so that details can be viewed. The light from the LED material can be hard to adjust and is so near to the object being viewed that the view is either washed out totally or greatly degraded. For non-reflective material like stamps or paper money, it is not an issue.
