2MP CMOS sensor captures still images and video up to 1920x1080 resolution Variable magnification from 20x to 200x 8-LED adjustable ring illuminator with built-in polarizing filter Connects to your computer via an integrated USB-C cable Includes adjustable stand for hands-free operation Description FAQ Specifications In the Box Downloads Warranty Celestron Labs Digital 2MP Handheld Microscope The Celestron Labs Digital 2MP Handheld Microscope streams detailed views directly to your computer, using its 2 MP CMOS sensor to capture stills and video at up to 1920x1080 resolution. Its adjustable objective provides a continuous magnification range from 20x to 200x, controlled by your working distance to the subject. The built-in, 8-LED ring illuminator ensures your subject is always bright, while video streaming at up to 30fps delivers smooth, real-time observation. Weighing just 97g and powered by an integrated USB-C cable, this microscope delivers powerful imaging capabilities in a compact, portable package. 2MP Sensor and 20x-200x Magnification Range At the core of this microscope is a 2 MP Galaxycore sensor with 2.2 μm pixels, capable of resolving fine details on insects, circuit boards, or textiles. Magnification is set by adjusting the microscope's distance from the object, providing a seamless range from a wide 20x overview to a detailed 200x inspection. Once your magnification is framed, the fine-focus barrel dial brings the 1920x1080 image into sharp focus on your computer screen. 8-LED Adjustable Ring Light with Polarizer Proper illumination is critical, and the Celestron Labs microscope integrates an 8-LED ring light for bright, even lighting directly at the objective. An adjustment wheel allows you to control the brightness for optimal contrast. For highly reflective subjects like coins or solder joints, a built-in, adjustable polarizing filter cuts through glare to reveal surface details that would otherwise be obscured. Handheld Design with Included Stand and 1/4-20 Tripod Mount Engineered for flexibility, the 97g microscope is light enough for comfortable one-handed use, with the focus wheel and shutter button easily accessible. For stationary work, the included adjustable metal and plastic stand holds the microscope steady, allowing for precise, hands-free positioning. For even greater versatility, the microscope body features a standard 1/4-20 thread, enabling you to mount it on any photo tripod for field use or custom lab setups. Celestron Labs Software for Windows and Mac Connecting via its integrated USB-C cable, the microscope works seamlessly with the free Celestron Labs Digital Imaging HD Software. Compatible with Windows 7.1 through 11 and Mac OSX 10.5 and higher, the software provides a live view and allows you to capture images and video up to 1920x1080. It also includes tools for annotation and precise measurement using the supplied calibration ruler, turning your observations into quantifiable data. How do I change the magnification on the Celestron Labs Digital Microscope? The magnification, from 20x to 200x, is set by changing the physical distance between the microscope's objective and your subject. Moving it closer increases magnification. Once you have the desired field of view, you use the barrel focus wheel for fine adjustments to achieve a sharp image. What is the polarizing filter for on this 2MP microscope? The built-in polarizing filter is designed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces. When viewing objects like metal coins, polished minerals, or solder points on a circuit board, rotating the polarizer can reveal fine surface texture and detail that would otherwise be washed out by bright reflections. Can I use the Celestron Labs Digital Microscope to inspect a printed circuit board (PCB)? Yes, it is an excellent tool for PCB inspection. The 20x-200x magnification is ideal for examining traces and solder joints, and the 8-LED illuminator provides the necessary light. The built-in polarizer is especially useful for minimizing glare from metallic components, allowing for a clear view of the board's surface. What software do I need for the Celestron Labs Digital 2MP Microscope? The microscope uses the free Celestron Labs Digital Imaging HD Software, which you can download from Celestron's website. It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 7.1 to Windows 11 and Mac OSX 10.5 and higher. The software allows you to view a live feed, capture images and video, and perform measurements. How would I use this microscope to view a leaf or insect in the field? The microscope's portability makes it great for field use with a laptop. Because it has a standard 1/4-20 tripod thread, you can attach it to a flexible tripod (sold separately) and wrap it around a tree branch or position it low to the ground. This gives you a stable, hands-free platform to get a detailed 2MP view of natural subjects without disturbing them. Does the Celestron Labs microscope have its own screen or save images internally? No, this microscope is designed to interface directly with a computer. It uses your PC as its screen for live viewing and does not have any on-board memory. All images and videos are captured and saved directly to your computer's hard drive via the included software.
