Celestron CB2000C Compound Binocular Microscope — 40x-2000x, 4 Achromatic Objectives, Trinocular Adapter

Overview

The Celestron Labs CB2000C Compound Binocular Microscope is built for reliability in classrooms, labs, and dedicated hobby spaces. With a robust all‑metal frame and precise optics, this microscope supports learners and researchers as they move from observation to documentation. The binocular design helps reduce eye strain during longer sessions, while a trinocular adapter opens the door to camera capture for notes, sharing findings, or building a digital record of your specimens.

Optical power and precision

Accessible magnification ranges from 40x to 2000x thanks to four fully achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x) paired with 10x and 20x eyepieces. This setup yields clear, color-faithful images across a broad span of detail, making it easier to scan slides at low power and zoom in for high-detail views. An Abbe condenser rated at NA 1.25, together with an iris diaphragm, lets you concentrate light and tailor brightness and field uniformity to each specimen.

Illumination and precision controls

The built-in halogen illumination provides consistent lighting across observations, while the condenser distance and iris diaphragm enable careful control of light cone size. This level of adjustment supports even illumination and contrast across the slide, helping you highlight textures and features without glare.

• Fully mechanical stage with two-axis knobs for precise slide centering
• Coaxial coarse and fine focus for smooth, accurate focusing
• All-metal construction designed for years of classroom or lab use

Versatility and ready-to-use features

In addition to dual eyepieces, the CB2000C includes a trinocular adapter to accommodate camera attachment for documentation or external viewing. Ten prepared slides are included to jump-start discovery, and three colored filters help you adjust contrast or emphasize specific features right away.

• Trinocular adapter supports camera or secondary eyepiece viewing
• Ten prepared slides included for immediate exploration
