  • Good microscope
Style: 44347 (TetraView)
The media could not be loaded. This is a descent microscope so far. The one complaint I have with product is there were no helpful instructions at all so the first 30 minutes were frustrating. I went to you tube to find a how to video on set up. It was more helpful than the small pamphlet that was in the box. ... show more

  • Perfect for horse barn
Style: 44347 (TetraView)
Handy- easy to use and move around. We use it to check samples during breeding season in our horse barn. Would recommend to others for this purpose.

  • Pretty Good Digital Biological Microscope
Style: 44348 (PentaView)
It is a lower-end biological microscope, but it is perfectly adequate for education use and even some less critical real biological work. It is certainly much better than most cheap educational microscopes or the abysmal toy ones. The hardware is definitely a little dated in the sense the LCD display resolution is low and the illumination is a bit dim for the highest magnifications, it uses a mini-B USB connector, etc. The saved files are fine, but focus perfection would be easier with a bit more resolution on the display device. I like that the screen stylus has a mounting spot on the top of the body. The top-side illuminator is basically useless, but it is rarely useful anyway. The stage backlash is a bit annoying, but you get used to it. The focus vernier on my unit was tight, no sign of the slippage some comments mention, maybe even too tight really, I suspect it can be adjusted but I haven't tried yet. I don't love the colour balance options especially when combined with the colour filter wheel. The aperture options are OK, the condenser isn't otherwise adjustable. I suspect it doesn't support modern larger capacity SD cards but that isn't a bit deal. I haven't tried using the battery supply or USB data options. The carrying case and dust cover are actually quite good for the price I didn't expect them at all. I have a much fancier real biological microscope which is obviously much better technically, but for a lot of stuff this scope is great. All in all I am glad I purchased it, I can take it in the field with me and not worry too much if I wreck it. ... show more

  • Perfect for reptile DIY fecal smears and floats
Style: 44341
This microscope (44341) works to screen for fecal parasites and protozoa in my reptile. The value for the money is the best and the LCD screen is way better than trying to strain/focus your eyes in a lens. Can't beat being able to take photos and video instantly. I didn't want to have to worry about installing some old software and hookup via USB to see and switch between PC and scope/knobs. It gets the job done, and fine focus isn't really needed for the 400x (but wouldn't hurt). I bet it is needed for a 600x like in the Pentaview. You can see almost anything with 400x. I believe the QC isn't the best as my first scope I got had loose tension on the stage knob so it would droop (as others have noted), and the camera lens had an artifact. I wasn't having it, so I got an exchange - the difference is night and day. I now have one with proper tension and perfect camera image. Let it be known that Celestron made this with proper tension - however, who knows how many have the droop issue... Summary: Pros +LCD screen looks great +Plenty of options (exposure, zoom, etc) +Photos are high resolution, videos are 30fps and look good +See protozoa, flagellates, parasites, worms, eggs etc. +Sleek design Cons - Quality control issues? Stage may droop, camera lens may be bad - seek an exchange. - Photo and video recording will turn off and crash the system if batteries are running low - no way to tell if power is low as light strength stays the same. A sensor would have been nice if possible. - The top LED light is not useful enough to see the top of objects/insects. Very faint on the highest exposure; you must use your own flashlight/spotlight to get the desired effect. Note: Higher magnifications close in on the stage too much for it to matter. Use lowest (40x) only. -+ Not really a con but I wish they made this model with fine focus so you aren't paying upwards of $300 just to have it. ... show more

  • Some limitations but cool and great for the price.
Style: 44341
Great for the price. No fine adjustment but that would only be an issue at very high power. There are fine movement controls for the slides. You have several magnifications digitally on the monitor at every lens power. Screen is clear. There are 2 light sources one from the top one from the bottom. The monitor controls are awkward in terms of saving a picture or a movie or viewing something saved as some buttons have dual purposes. It connects via usb to a computer but I havent figured out how to view it yet. Probably just need to find the SD card. The instructions are poorly written. 5 sample slides are included but no blank slides at all. You need to buy some slides and cover plates. I returned the first one because the monitor had become off the base and the second one was good but the 1 G D card did not work so I just bought a new one. That is probably a rare occurrence. Be careful when unpacking it. Has a very nice case. Overall it is pretty cool. ... show more

  • Great Microscope for the year 2008
Style: 44347 (TetraView)
The company needs to update the LCD screen, it s 10 years or more ago, they have RC cables to ,hook up to computer, im would not be surprised if there was a VCR instructional tape that came with it. This is a quality built machine, but to pay $450-600 is rough. The minute they do upgrade the electronics your $600 Penta view or $450 Tetra view will be worthless. I returned it only because the touch screen nis probably the first one Ever invented, i cant even get the picture on my cheap monitor , then pixels are too much. I would have top buy a commodore 64 computer to view the display. For those who bought this years ago, cheers. Amazon also plays games , i bought the tetra view for $450 ish, then im had a Penta view in my cart for $400. When i asked about it they quickly removed it and said i was too slow.... ... show more

  • For the money, it's a great microscope!
Style: 44341
The first one that was sent to me didn't work right. The display needed to be turned on and off several times to get a usable picture. Amazon replaced it without a problem. The bottom light works good with sharp picture, much better then my old tasco that is ancient. The top light is useless, you have to use an extra bright light shining down (sun) on the specimen to see anything. The slide with the onion skin shows the cells better then ever. In a drop of pond water I can see more life then ever before. I can't seem to get the scale to work yet but it's probably me. I gave it 4 stars because of the top light but the rest is a 5. ... show more

I collect and freeze animal semen for clients. I have used a big heavy microscope for years to travel with. I was told about this lightweight but powerful enough scope to see what I need to on the screen down to abnormal s.

Sometimes when I use the 40x optical, the object on the slide doesn't get enough light from the microscope and I can't see what I'm looking at because it is solid black. That is frustrating at times. Also, the digital zoom is so distorted that I never use it for anything. The photo feature is nice to have and really easy to use. ... show more

  • Gets the job done.
Style: 44348 (PentaView)
Excels in the "Field". (Battery Operated Optional). It does a great job, has digital storage, but there is an issue when viewing on a computer monitor. It's grainy. Pros are it's simple to use. The con is 5 achromatic - 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, 60x lenses are not as powerful as I need, so I ordered a 100X lens In the hopes it will work. But, performance is defined by application. It is sturdy and portable. It is useful to see if there are microbes in my compost tea. this is a big deal, since you can't see microbes with the naked eye. It's a great starter microscope, but I wish Celestron would make a "Big Brother" with higher magnification and monitor resolution. I would buy it. ... show more

Llegó con la plataforma donde se coloca el objeto muy abajo y tuve que conseguir ayuda para hacerlo funcionar porque pensé que estaba malo. Estaba programado para llegar en abril 13 y llegó en Abril 8 por lo que me siento realmente bien atendido.
