Celestron 44306 Handheld Digital Microscope

I believe that there is a problem with using this microscope at high-power in that the magnification-level slider can hang up on an edge. If you don't push it down all the way it will not focus. The slider (on mine at least) seats about 1/8" over the...

This is my second attempt to get an inexpensive 'microscope' for my kids (ages 6 & 8. At the lowest power it is OK - I could not get it to focus at any higher power. And think about it, at a higher power, one just could not "hold it by hand" and get...

Celestron has never failed to amaze me with their products. I needed a way to economically perform visual inspections of surface mount electronic assemblies and they provided me with the right equipment. Well done. Surface Mount Technology - Principles...

This is the second Celestron microscope that I've returned right after receiving it. This is no more than a cheap toy. First off, it is incredibly small (~2.5") and all plastic. There is no stand or base provided so you have to hold it by hand. Given...
