Congratulations on your Celestron microscope purchase. Your new
microscope is a precision optical instrument made of high quality materials
to ensure durability and long life, and is designed to give you a lifetime of
pleasure with minimal maintenance.
This microscope can be used for virtually anything that traditional microscopes
are used for: Hobbyists, Educators, Medical Labs, Industrial Inspection,
Engineering Applications, Teachers, Students, Science Applications, Doctor's
Offices, Police Agencies, Government Testing, and general use by consumers.
Before attempting to use your microscope, please read through the
instructions to familiarize yourself with the functions and operations to
make usage easier for you. See the microscope diagram to locate the parts
discussed in this manual.
The microscope provides powers from 15x to 30x (powers with a 19"
monitor). It is ideally suited for examining solid objects such as coins, stamps,
rocks, relics, insects, plants, skin, gems, circuit boards, various materials, and
many other objects. You can also examine specimen slides.
With the included software, you can observe the magnified images or capture
video or take snapshots with Microsoft Windows 7, XP and Vista operating
systems. You can also use the microscope with most image capture software
that you may have on Windows 7, XP & Vista Os's. If you are using a MAC,
you can take videos and snapshots but you need image/photo capture
software for MAC (like a combination of iChat with Photo Booth, etc.). You will
also need a CD/DVD drive as well as an open USB port.
Note: This product was designed and intended for ages 13 and older!
