Celestron LCD Digital Microscope II – 3.5" Screen, 5MP Camera, 40x–1600x Magnification

Discover a versatile learning microscope for classrooms and labs

The Celestron LCD Digital Microscope II brings microscope viewing into the modern era with a built-in 3.5" full-color LCD screen mounted on a 180° rotating head. This design encourages group participation, allowing several learners to observe specimens at the same time without squinting through eyepieces. The setup reduces eye strain and neck tension during longer sessions, making it ideal for collaborative activities in classrooms, teaching labs, or hobbyist study spaces.

Capture the moment with a 5MP digital camera that records crisp stills and smooth video (30 fps). Save your observations directly to the included SD card, or connect to a monitor or TV via the AV output for big-screen demonstrations. Image resolution reaches 1920x1080 for clear detail that translates well to presentations or classroom displays.

Powerful optics with flexible magnification

The rotating objective turret houses 4x, 10x, and 40x lenses. When paired with the 10x digital eyepiece, you’ll achieve optical powers of 40x, 100x, and 400x. The LCD adds an additional 4x digital zoom, delivering a total magnification up to 1600x for examining cells, tissues, protozoa, and more with remarkable clarity.

Precise viewing and enhanced image quality

A fully adjustable mechanical stage allows precise slide positioning, while coarse and fine focus knobs help lock in crisp details. A 6-position filter wheel under the stage provides color and aperture filters to improve contrast and lighting control for diverse specimens. Dual LED illuminators — one above and one below the stage — offer bright, even lighting suitable for both opaque and translucent samples.

Designed for convenience and portability

Power versatility includes an international AC adapter for steady classroom use or field-friendly operation with 4 AA batteries (not included). The kit includes 5 prepared slides, a dust cover, and a rugged canvas carrying case, ensuring you’re ready to explore right away where curiosity leads.
