Celestron Laboratory Handheld Digital Microscope

Articles and Reviews

17 Aug 2008 GREAT LITTLE TOOL The Celestron microscope is a great little tool, usually I have to go into the clean room to view a package under one of our optical microscopes, now I can do it at my desk. It's well worth the small cost!. –George Patrick Mcgillfrom Amazon.com
05 Jun 2008 Doesn't work with Vista 64 bit The driver won't work with windows Vista 64 bit system. I found this out after talking to multiple support people and submitting requests on the internet. I never recieved any response, I always had to spend 20 minutes on hold to talk to someone.

Camera feels cheap and I imagine it would be difficult to push "click" button without shaking the camera.
Since I was never able to use it, I can't say if the quality is good or bad.
I have used Dino-lite scopes before and I was impress... –Stevefrom Amazon.com
30 Apr 2008 Poor Quality Control, Not Recommended The major problems I had with this item are:

1. The lens had edge-to-edge streaks on the surface.
2. The image had constant blobs that did not move, as if the CCD was dirty.
3. The focus cylinder would stick and jump making focusing impossible. A drop of grease could have fixed this.
4. The software issued a Windows Certificate warning and has no options to set the install directory. It is a one-shot installation.

The microscope is too expensive for such poor quality. –Random Viewerfrom Amazon.com
