Review on Celestron Digital Microscope Imager 44422 by Linda Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, extra magnification is a positive

Purchased (5 megapixel version) for my daughter's LW Scientific Student Advanced microscope. Arrived today. I downloaded the software onto a Windows 10 PC, connected the camera to the adapter, replaced the adapter with a standard eyepiece (for this particular microscope you need a very small Allen key to loosen a very small screw to remove the eyepiece ), plugged in the Celestron Digital Microscope Imager into the USB port, the software ran and boom, works like a charm, super straight forward. To my daughter's chagrin, I poked my little finger with a safety pin and we checked the blood. The standard eyepiece magnification was 10x, Celestron's 30x thermal imager made the average daisy lens about as powerful as the full-size lens (300x vs. 400x). The usual 400x lens suddenly became 1200x. The resolution on the laptop screen is excellent, photos and videos are superb. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Useful not only for intended purpose
Cons
  • Modernity
