Review: You get what you pay for - 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 Review: Great value! High resolution. - 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 My CD manual was out of date and did not contain the proper method of calibration.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! ## Features - 20X–200X MAGNIFICATION WITH PROFESSIONAL-QUALITY OPTICS: 5-element IR-cut glass lens delivers crisp, detailed views of coins, circuit boards, textiles, insects, and more. - TRUE 5MP DIGITAL SENSOR: Capture stunning, high-resolution images (up to 2592 x 1944 pixels) and VGA-quality video for sharing, analysis, or archiving. - BUILT-IN POLARIZING FILTER: Reduce glare and reflections on shiny or wet surfaces with the adjustable polarizing filter wheel for clearer, more detailed views. - CONVENIENT ONE-TOUCH SNAPSHOT BUTTON: Press the button to capture images anytime without touching your computer. - USB-C CONNECTIVITY + LONGER CABLE: Plug-and-play connection to Windows and Mac computers with an over 4-foot USB-C cable. - ¼”-20 TRIPOD THREAD FOR ADDITIONAL STABILITY: Mount the microscope on any standard photo tripod (sold separately) for steady, vibration-free imaging. - HANDHELD OR HANDS-FREE VIEWING WITH ADJUSTABLE STAND: Hold the microscope to examine specimens up close or go hands-free and steady your view with the included stand featuring a 180° rotating arm and built-in specimen clips. - ADJUSTABLE LED ILLUMINATION: A ring of white LEDs with brightness control ensures your specimens are always well-lit. - POWERFUL DIGITAL SOFTWARE + CALIBRATION RULER: Free Celestron Labs Digital software lets you view, capture, measure, and annotate specimens, and a calibration ruler is included for accurate measurements. - UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading optics brand in California since 1960.

That's on a 27 inch monitor. Why?** A: This is a confusing issue and the vendors aren't helping with their 2BazillionX magnification claims. In reality you are looking at focal lengths as far as "real" magnification goes and display size as far as "apparent" magnification goes. For real magnification what we are doing is focusing an image on a sensors surface. If we are closer to the subject we are going to cover more sensor surface with the image. This is measured in aspect ratio. If my focused image is the same size on the sensor surface as the subject itself the aspect is 1:1. If the image size is half the life size it's .5:1, etc. So with a 1:1 ratio a 1" subject would yield a 1" image on the sensor surface. 1:1 is usually considered nirvana for macro (super closeup) photography. You can "blow up" a 1:1 image a whole lot without it blurring. This is where the "monitor size" blather comes in. The more dots (pixels) the sensor had the more I can expand my display and still see good detail in the image. (Take a printed image and a decent magnifying glass and you will see the dots) If I expand my display size too much it will blur to the point it's useless to my eyes because my 'dots' are too far apart. The gist of this is that you change true magnification by moving the focus point (focal plane) closer or farther from the image sensor in the microscope. For the scopes smallest image size (lowest magnification) raise the scope body higher and use the focus/zoom wheel on the scope to focus the image. For the largest image size (magnification) you want to get as close to the subject as you can. Then the maximum "magnification" (display size) you use is simply determined by the number of pixels the sensor has. This scope has 5 million. That's a bunch! The photos you get will display well on a projector screen for an audience. As for true magnification this scope will focus down to the point the clear plastic hood touches the subject. This yields about 67X - which is really good for what you paid. Just a few years ago we would be discussing thousands of dollars (and Celestron products) to get clear images this size. I hope this info helps, it should be useful in understanding the measurement function of the software as well. The measurement function is really great for teaching purposes! **Q: Hi. Is there anyone who want to make an experiment for me? Can you see any algae or any kind of life in a drop of water?** A: Depending upon the magnification, many "things" can be seen in a drop of pond water. http://www.microworldsphotography.com/Galleries/Microscopic-Creatures/i-cKDFwMC **Q: Can the lighting intensity be varied?** A: Yes. There is a dial on the USB cord that allows you to adjust the intensity. The dial will allow you to turn the light completely off. **Q: Can the magnification vary between 20X & 200X or is it just two fixed magnifications? For example can you magnify 50X or 80X?** A: The zoom is continuous, no fixed magnification levels between maximum and minimum. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You get what you pay for *by C***N on October 20, 2019* I ordered this Celestron USB microscope after I ordered a $19 off brand one from Ebay.

It DOES have a longevity problem, however. After 3 years of use, it was on it's last legs. The color had pretty much faded completely to all shades of gray and the focus had narrowed from the full view field down to only the center with everything out at the edges of the view filed out of focus. Their tech guy said that their optical sensors do that after a lot of use, but I have been using the same digital camera for lots longer and for way more images and it still is as good as it was the first day I used it, so I don't get why they can't have an optical sensor that lasts longer. Anyway, 5 stars for performance and 2 stars for longevity. I had to buy a new one (at DOUBLE to old price; $150+ instead of $83) so as to get back to the performance I need. LATER: after 18 months it died in the way others have described. Totally dead. Software will not recognize it no matter what you do (different USB ports, restart computer, reinstall driver, etc) AND the company has apparently abandoned all pretense of customer support. I wrote them about 4 emails over 2 weeks and zero response. I do amateur wood anatomy analysis and this turns out to be just what a I wanted. I had a very good focus mechanism and a wide range of focal lengths. I can do a full-screen image of a wood sample's end grain at anything from .2cm to 2cm which is more than enough for my needs. Very pleased and recommend it. I DID have to build a special stand for it but that' because of the size / shape of the wood samples. The stand that it comes with is fine for flat objects ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 44308 Handheld Digital Microscope Pro, 20x-200x Magnification, Grey/White - Jiusion Aluminium Alloy Universal Adjustable Professional Base Stand Holder Desktop Support Bracket for Max 1.4" in Diameter USB Digital Microscope Endoscope Magnifier Loupe Camera --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1144612-celestron-labs-5mp-handheld-digital-microscope-for-detailed-inspection](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1144612-celestron-labs-5mp-handheld-digital-microscope-for-detailed-inspection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
