Summary: top light inadequate
Comment: The microscope/camera combination is great in every way except one very important feature, the top light is inadequate. It is too far away and not bright enough to light solid specimens. It does work fantastic for specimens that light can pass through.

Summary: Dark spot on LCD
Comment: I ended up returning this item for a replacement because it had a dark spot in the middle of the LCD. Once I received my replacement it did not have a dark spot but now there was debris internally that could not be removed. I ended up sending it back for a refund. However, I did order another style of a Celestron Microscope without the LCD screen. I give this product 3 stars because the concept and viewing options for this unit is incredible. It is also very easy to use and very lightweight. it just so happened I did not receive a "keeper".

Summary: Celestron 44340 LCD Microscope
Comment: I'm pretty happy with this microscope that I purchased to use with my daughter. The screen is clear and responds to movement (rotifers) without any kind of low fps problems.

There is a distracting dark patch in the center of the LCD. The spot does not show up when you record a video, so it must be a problem with the LCD. The company has not yet replied to my support email on this subject I sent 4 days ago. Paint on the objective lens housings is worn looking and there is a scratch on the upper illuminator's plastic housing. Because of these things, the finish of the microscope has a used look.

The photo and movie recording interface is simple and easy to use. There is at least one misspelled word in a menu which makes the interface seem unprofessional. However it records acceptably. The video it creates is in the Windows .wmv format.

Useful: Digital Cameras: Stick To Optical Zoom

When you choose a digital camera, you’ll notice that there are a couple of zoom figures listed on the box and other promotional material. One is the optical zoom and the other is the digital zoom. Typically, optical zoom is about 3x or 4x, while digital zoom can be closer to 10x and higher. The difference between the two is that optical zoom is achieved through use of the lens elements while digital zoom is achieved by cropping in on the image sensor, then interpolating the resultant image file to higher resolution. I recommend that for maximum image quality you stick to using only the optical zoom. The newest digital cameras on the market have vastly improved digital zoom algorithms than were available just a few years ago. These improvements make the digital zoom much more useful, but it’s still a compromise.
