Celestron TetraView LCD Digital Microscope – 5MP Camera, 40x–1600x Magnification, Built-in Screen, Carrying Case

Overview

The Celestron TetraView LCD Digital Microscope brings a classroom-friendly, all-in-one viewing experience to schools, labs, and curious home scientists. A 4.3" full-color LCD screen is mounted on a 180° rotating head, allowing multiple observers to view specimens at the same time without peering through eyepieces. The built-in 5MP camera captures sharp stills and smooth 30 fps video, with easy storage to the included SD card or the option to connect to a monitor for larger-group demonstrations. Image resolution reaches 3648x2048 pixels, ensuring clarity when viewing fine cellular details or tissue structures.

Key optical and mechanical features work together to support precise observations. The rotating turret offers 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives. When paired with the 10x digital eyepiece, you can explore 40x, 100x, 200x, and 400x optical magnification, and a 4x digital zoom extends total magnification up to 1600x. An adjustable mechanical stage with coarse and fine focus knobs enables careful slide alignment and crisp imaging. A built-in 6-position filter wheel adds color and aperture filters to optimize contrast and lighting, while a bottom LED illuminator provides even illumination for translucent specimens on prepared slides.

Versatility and Convenience

Power options are designed for flexibility: use the included international AC adapter or operate cordless with 4 AA batteries (not included). The kit arrives ready to inspire with 7 prepared slides, two cables, a touch pen, a dust cover, and a rugged canvas carrying case, making it suitable for classrooms, labs, and field demonstrations alike.

The TetraView is built to support collaborative learning and hands-on exploration. This setup is ideal for demonstrations, guided experiments, and student-led investigations where quick sharing of observations enhances engagement. While not a medical device, its high-resolution imaging and versatile lighting can reveal a range of textures, colors, and structures across various specimen types.
