3 out of 5 stars   Neat device with a few limitations...
By Pav on June 09, 2012
Review submitted for Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope (CT44302)
Pros: Works Properly, Durable
Cons: Slow image capture
Other Comments: I purchased this for the express purpose of inspecting small electronic assemblies and capturing images when needed for quality control. The camera works well enough and produces good quality images. As others have noted the focusing is a bit difficult to achieve but this is due to the smooth surface of the knob used to adjust the focus. The focus adjustment knob is tight which is a good thing. I was under the impression that the magnification settings would be separate from the focusing knob. They are not. Camera close = high magnification. It's not a big drawback but it would be good to know in advance. The stand is heavy enough to keep things in place but can be in the way sometimes. What would really be neat is a stand that would allow the camera to adjust vertically, say 12", for easier operation. Finally, I think it is a bit slow in capturing the image. A couple of times I took the picture, moved the object, and ended up with an image of the desktop. Wait for the shutter sound on your PC! Overall a good device and with a few tweaks by Celestron it could be perfect.

2 out of 5 stars   Misleading advertisement
By Razzmo on October 04, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope (CT44302)
Pros: Strong Construction
Cons: Difficult To Focus, Difficult to Use, Poor Lens Quality
Other Comments: When it was advertised as having different settings, as in 30x 50x or 150x you would think that the scope had different settings that you could change but it does not. You have to move the scope closer-farther away from the subject to achieve this.

Pros: Compact
Cons:
Other Comments: I have a family heirloom diamond ring with 4 large diamonds ,going to get it repaired, I want to make sure I get back the same diamonds which have no inclusions when I get the ring back this took very detailed pictures of the diamonds. I put the pictures on a cd and will include 8x10 glossy pictures in the box when I take it in that should discourage any switching of diamonds it is a reputable jeweler, but it pays to lock your doors keeps an honest person honest I have heard stories and this ring has a great value to me to have my family diamonds back. this clearly detailed the diamonds. It took good pictures and even shows jeweler's cut marks from original cutting on the diamond at 150X which are distinctive marks .
