Customer Review: Celestron 44320 Microscope
Summary: 5 Stars
A great microsope for a beginning scientist. Being able to attach it to a computer makes it so much easier for the young scientists to use.Customer Review: Good
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect for beginner, light weight, durable, easy to use, needs ON OFF switch for light, rather than turn reflector/light around. Overall worth the money.Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very disappointed in the quality of this microscope. I expected more from Celestron. I bought this for my son's 6th birthday and chose this one for the digital camera. I thought it would be easier for both of us to view the slides on the computer. The quality of the digital image is poor at best and makes the camera worthless. I wasn't expecting HD images but I was expecting to be able to actually see what was on the side. The scope is entirely plastic with so much light filtering through the plastic tube up to the eye piece that the image is distorted. The images viewed directly though the microscope aren't too bad but if that is all you're looking for put your money in a better scope without the camera. I packed it up, sent it back and bought just that.Customer Review: Celestron 44320

Looks fine, not yet tried, no need, waiting for occasion when needed for great-grandson's school work.Customer Review: Great for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This bad boy was pretty cheap as far as microscopes go but it lets you see well beyond what you can with the naked eye quite well. Older kids will be able to handle looking through the scope but little ones will have trouble. The best part for that is the camera. The camera takes pictures or video when you hook it up to a computer and the process is simple.
The light is a little hot for anything in water so take care to use the pen light that shines from above when possible at least until you find what you are looking for.
Also, there is no guard in place to prevent you from cracking a slide by focusing in too far so always pay attention if you're not already familiar with microscopes.
