Review: A little tricky, but a quality piece of equipment - I have gotten a lot of use out of this device. I had a hard time understanding it, at first. The manual was not very helpful. But eventually I figured out how to connect it to my Mac and PC and it takes some very good digital images of small stuff. I use a sticky roller device (a lint roller) to collect small dust mites and the like, or to gather what is on my bed in the morning and put the thing right on top of it. It has two levels of focusing. I did not know that at first. I use the lesser focus to get it centered, then turn the nob all the way back around for the higher focus. This is a better quality device than several others that look just like it. The digital images are impressive.
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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I press the edge of the microscope flat against a thin piece of paper, I can get only 85x magnification. 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.

### ⭐ NOT for stamp collectors! Warning to ALL prospective purchasers.
*by D***. on April 24, 2023*

Here is my (unhappy) experience with the Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro (model 44308). I do not recommend this microscope to you. First of all, it turns out that Celestron is selling two models of this product (44308 and 44308B) -- but you don't know which model you will be receiving. In my case, I eventually learned that I received the 44308B -- BUT I was sent the manual for the 44308. Consequently, I had a difficult time figuring out the changed controls. Secondly, the software interface for Mac -- which I needed -- is not included with product, and must be downloaded from Celestron's very user-unfriendly website. So, I downloaded the software -- and it didn't work. Eventually, I learned that I needed to download different software for the model 44308B, which is variously described by Celestron as version 2.5 and 3.5. (As it turns out, the "3.5" is apparent "typo" on Celestron's part on their website!) Through a lengthy back-and-forth with Celestron's slow customer (so-called) service, I came to understand that the company's representatives are poorly trained and inexperienced. I got more frustration than I did service. Finally, this microscope is absolutely unsuitable for stamp collectors, because the field of view is way too narrow to fit the entirety of most stamps. Moreover, the focus wheel is way, way too clumsy, and the software is astonishingly primitive, basic, and hard-to-use. I returned the product to Amazon.
