User questions & answers

Question:	Buenas noches, el Tetraview viene con su respectivo estuche
Answer:	Hola buenas tardes, el que yo compre viene muy bien empacado y trae un estuche interior con cremallera de muy buena calidad que permite que el equipo este siempre protegido, es como de una lona firme muy buena. Yo lo utilizo en una porcícola donde prolifera mucho el polvo y las cucarachas y ese estuche permite que siempre este alejado de todo ello.
Question:	How do you turn it on? All I get is the opening setup screen and no instructions
Answer:	been a while since I have used mine, however, connect power cord to wall, or use 4 AA batteries, then I turn lights on, and push and hold screen power button. after that, this is a "touch Screen" so there are hidden commands that you can pull up by touching the lower or upper "edge" of the screen. they will come to view then. did your microscope come with a manual (about 4 pages in english, the rest is all other languages) ?
Question:	The reviews posted are often for other Celestron microscopes. I would like to know specifically how this model performs. Can someone post a review
Answer:	Like others, I have a different model (44345), but all models are pretty much the same, Mine is listed as a 5mp, but there are doc's listing it as 2mp and others as 5mp, You will replace the objectives! so don't buy it for them. The top LED is trash not bright enough for anything I have found! The unit has a auto focus and white balance with no way adjust or shut it off.So in the beginning it was almost useless to me, I added better Objectives and then discovered I could over power the auto light adjust. The cost of Microscope light are VERY high, so I added a Sewing machine LED lamp about $100 cheaper.I use it for insects, I have to trick it to get a good Pic, I flood it with light then turn down the base light with the disk (to almost blocking the light). Also it readjust the light after ever pic.I am getting what I need to complete the job.The Base stand is nice, I got mine at Fry's
Question:	Looking at grains of sand and foraminifera: will it work for solids
Answer:	My wife is a AKC judge and a breeder of " COLLIES " " you know like Lassie come home".She uses your product for checking sperm and absolutley loves it. gbm

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the magnification vary between 20X & 200X or is it just two fixed magnifications? For example can you magnify 50X or 80X
Answer:	The zoom is continuous, no fixed magnification levels between maximum and minimum.
Question:	Can the lighting intensity be varied
Answer:	Yes. There is a dial on the USB cord that allows you to adjust the intensity. The dial will allow you to turn the light completely off.
Question:	Hi. Is there anyone who want to make an experiment for me? Can you see any algae or any kind of life in a drop of water
Answer:	Depending upon the magnification, many "things" can be seen in a drop of pond water. http://www.microworldsphotography.com/Galleries/Microscopic-Creatures/i-cKDFwMC
Question:	If I press the edge of the microscope flat against a thin piece of paper, I can get only 85x magnification. That's on a 27 inch monitor. Why
Answer:	This is a confusing issue and the vendors aren't helping with their 2BazillionX magnification claims. In reality you are looking at focal lengths as far as "real" magnification goes and display size as far as "apparent" magnification goes. For real magnification what we are doing is focusing an image on a sensors surface. If we are closer to the subject we are going to cover more sensor surface with the image. This is measured in aspect ratio. If my focused image is the same size on the sensor surface as the subject itself the aspect is 1:1. If the image size is half the life size it's .5:1, etc. So with a 1:1 ratio a 1" subject would yield a 1" image on the sensor surface. 1:1 is usually considered nirvana for macro (super closeup) photography. You can "blow up" a 1:1 image a whole lot without it blurring. This is where the "monitor size" blather comes in. The more dots (pixels) the sensor had the more I can expand my display and still see good detail in the image. (Take a printed image and a decent magnifying glass and you will see the dots) If I expand my display size too much it will blur to the point it's useless to my eyes because my 'dots' are too far apart. The gist of this is that you change true magnification by moving the focus point (focal plane) closer or farther from the image sensor in the microscope. For the scopes smallest image size (lowest magnification) raise the scope body higher and use the focus/zoom wheel on the scope to focus the image. For the largest image size (magnification) you want to get as close to the subject as you can. Then the maximum "magnification" (display size) you use is simply determined by the number of pixels the sensor has. This scope has 5 million. That's a bunch! The photos you get will display well on a projector screen for an audience. As for true magnification this scope will focus down to the point the clear plastic hood touches the subject. This yields about 67X - which is really good for what you paid. Just a few years ago we would be discussing thousands of dollars (and Celestron products) to get clear images this size. I hope this info helps, it should be useful in understanding the measurement function of the software as well. The measurement function is really great for teaching purposes!

User questions & answers

Question:	can you quickly slide one coin out to the next coin and get an instant image? in-another words ...Does this stream instant video
Answer:	Yes, this microscope does stream instant video. So long as the height and location of the previous coin that was being viewed matches where the new coin will be , then yes this will do the trick. be sure that the coin that you are looking at is on a flat surface. If you are looking at this with your hands it may be difficult to maintain clarity.
Question:	does this come with a stand
Answer:	Aye. It does come with a stand. The microscope clips into it. The stand is designed to hold the microscope steady above whatever it's resting on - it's not a microscope stage. Both the clip and the base swivels on ball joints and there's a screw that tightens the whole assembly once you have it in the position you want.
Question:	Will this take a clear picture of a complete coin the size of a silver dollar
Answer:	Yes if you hold the scope far enough away from it. I can take clear pictures of paintings on my wall. I can also see crystal in a grain of sand. It will produce such image the size of your monitor . It will make a movie so that you can manipulate the item you are magnifying or take a snapshot of such item.
Question:	optical vs digital magnification
Answer:	There is a lens assembly between the sensor and whatever you are focusing on. So magnification is optical. You can zoom in when in the preview window, and this extra zoom would be considered digital. -RP Celestron

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a time delay, if I want to "work on" the object being displayed
Answer:	I never noticed a time delay - but will not swear that the answer is zero. It could be relatively small and not normally discernable. Anyway - I am happy with the Celestron 5MP InfiniView.
Question:	What is the difference between this and the "celestron 5mp infiniview lcd digital microscope"? the specs all look the same
Answer:	As far as I could tell when researching myself the only difference is the Cosmos branding.
Question:	Up to what magnification is offered
Answer:	Celestron 5 MP actually has the resolution of its shots 5 - 12 megapixels. Setting to 5 mpx is optimal IMHO. The size and resolution of your computer display is very important when we speak of the microscope magnification. If you watch your shot on the small, build-in screen (300x200 pixels) you, of course, cannot have great magnification (anyway I enjoy it). A 5 megapixels picture taken by the microscope must be viewed on the screen with comparable resolution (wide * height ~= 5000000 pixel). If you have it and the microscope zoom is maximized you will have 200x magnification and even more. I can't say more precisely now. IMHO, quality of the microscope optic is good, and shots are nice. Please, pay attention that this microscope is designed to look AT objects (light falls on the object). When you use a classic microscope you use transillumination (light behind the object). So if you want to look at plant cells you probably should search for a classic type of a microscope. In general, I've got what I wanted. The only bad thing I met is that the microscope software provided on the CD disk refused to work at my Windows XP SP3. But anyway you can connect the microscope to a computer via USB and treat it like a flash drive. In "My computer" folder you will have Microscope Icon, and you can run the windows master for taking shot from microscope, directly on your computer.
Question:	Is it MAC compatible
Answer:	Yes it is Mac compatible.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a Chromebook
Answer:	Yes, I am a high school teacher and these devices have totally transformed my microscopy lessons. I use the extension "open screenshot" in lieu of software. Kids can not just see the image on their screen, but can also capture it, annotate it, and then drop it onto their google doc. LOVE these things.
Question:	Can this be used with a samsung tablet
Answer:	Probably not. In order for it to work, your tablet needs to support OTG technology and you would probably need an adapter (nicro USB to USB female).
