## Overview

The Celestron LCD Digital Microscope II is a versatile biological microscope featuring a 3.5" rotatable LCD screen, a 5MP camera capable of 30fps video recording, and magnification up to 1600x. Designed for classrooms, labs, and fieldwork, it offers precise slide control with dual LED lighting, flexible power options, and easy sharing via TV output. Included accessories like an SD card, prepared slides, and carrying case make it a complete, portable solution for detailed microscopic exploration.

## Description

The Celestron LCD Digital Microscope II is a powerful, full-featured biological microscope designed for classrooms, labs, and hobbyists. With a 3.5" full-color LCD screen mounted on a 180° rotating head, multiple users can view specimens simultaneously—perfect for group learning or collaborative environments. The screen eliminates the need for eyepieces and reduces eye and neck strain during extended use. The microscope includes a 5MP digital camera sensor that captures sharp still images and 30 fps video. Capture and save your observations directly to the included SD card or connect the microscope to a monitor using the TV output for large-scale viewing. Image resolution up to 1920 x 1080 pixels ensures excellent clarity, even on bigger screens. The rotating objective turret features 4x, 10x, and 40x lenses. When combined with the 10x digital eyepiece, this delivers 40x, 100x, and 400x optical magnification. The LCD screen features an additional 4x digital zoom, allowing the microscope to reach a total magnification of up to 1600x. This makes the LCD Digital Microscope II ideal for examining slides containing cells, tissue, protozoa, and more. The fully adjustable mechanical stage allows precise slide positioning, while coarse and fine focus knobs ensure crisp imaging. Just below the stage, there is a built-in 6-position filter wheel below the stage includes color and aperture filters to enhance contrast and control lighting for clearer specimen viewing. Dual adjustable LED illuminators—one above and one below the mechanical stage—provide bright, even lighting for both opaque and translucent specimens. Power the microscope using the included international AC adapter or go cordless with 4 AA batteries (not included), offering flexibility for use indoors or in the field. The microscope comes with 5 prepared slides, a dust cover, and a rugged canvas carrying case—everything you need to start exploring the microscopic world.

Review: Pretty Good Digital Biological Microscope - 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.
Review: Perfect for reptile DIY fecal smears and floats - 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.

### ⭐ Great Microscope for the year 2008
*by R***E on May 12, 2023*

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....
