Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope

The Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope is one of the best tools for the intermediate level use of a biological microscope in the market. Like the many other similar products, this also features different advanced technology, making it a handy unit.

The microscope is used for examining all types of micro organisms. There are basically two types of microscopes available. One is used for biological exams and the other is used for the physical world to take a look at electronics. The biological microscope is not only used for working within the plant and animal world but also they are widely used for pathological tests. The Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope is capable of doing almost every tests that the user might need except for only a few advance uses.

This Celestron microscope is measured by 14.7 inch by 10 inch by 8.1 inch. The weight of the device is 8.7 pounds, making it easier to move. There is an illuminator in the microscope that you can use for controlling the incoming light directly. The iris diaphragm is designed to provide necessary support and you can adjust the brightness as you wish. In technical terms, the iris diaphragm is used to stop the extra light entrance into the lenses, except by the aperture. This is a very common technique in modern digital cameras and using it in the Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope, gives the user more control over the lighting condition while working with it.

The Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope is an optical microscope like most other biological microscope in the similar class. The controlling knobs are placed at both axes; allowing the user to use the knobs by both hands. This also helps to place the slides in the center. The glass optics of this microscope is fully coated and the body is made of metal with a monocular head. In a biological microscope, you will need prepared slides so that the specimen can be attached with the slide before you start working with them.  With this Biological Microscope, you can use five different prepared slides at a time. These Celestron Microscopes also contain focusing knobs that support both coarse and fine focusing. The coarse focus allows the user to focus on the slide that is placed in the lowest magnificent level, supporting up to 40x. After 40x you can use the fine focus to adjust the view. These options allow the user to work with higher level of zooming facility. The adjustable arm of the device also allows for  movement from 0 to 60 degrees to give a better viewing option.

This Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope does not support head rotation. It has triple objective glasses. The triple objective glasses allow the user to focus the light based on the light coming from the object and produce a real time image. For illumination, the equipment uses 50 mm mirrors and LED Electrical parts. The filter system is blue in this microscope. The first eyepiece supports a 12 mm field view where the second eyepiece support 10 mm. The first eyepiece can zoom up to 400x including 40x and 100x. The second one can zoom 50x, 125x and 500x.

The Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope is one of the most featured microscope in the world for intermediate level use. This can be used for biotechnology, microbiology, pharmaceuticals and pathological tests. These Biological Microscopes are also very useful for laboratory use in the colleges and universities.

• 10x and 12.5x eyepieces and 4x, 10x, and 40x objective lenses
• Adjustable arm from 0 to 60 degrees provides comfortable viewing
• Five prepared slides and mechanical stage

"Very nice microscope that does much more than what a person should expect for 140 dollars!
Some people left feedback that is impossible, because this is a really exceptional and very functional microscope.

1. The light source does NOT get hot. Kept it on for 8 hours and still not hot! Light source is now LEDs.

2. Exceptional images and extraordinary contrast.

3. Book is only about 5 pages and if you read it along with learning a little on how to use a microscope your results will be the same.

4. Use the iris control to "turn down" the light because there is enough light power for 1000x but the microscope has 40x to 500x and too much light means dull & fuzzy images. Turn the iris and condenser down 75% or more or your images will be washed out and blurry.

5. Excellent sample slides that should give you all the practice you need to learn how the use the microscope.
The product that I am rating is a MODEL 44104.
It is an absolute 5 star."
