1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro with a 5MP sensor and professional stand. Your
microscope is a precision optical instrument, made of the highest quality materials to ensure durability and long life. It is
designed to give you a lifetime of pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance.
Before attempting to use your microscope, please read
through the instructions and reference the diagrams
below. Familiarizing yourself with the many features of
the Handheld Digital Microscope Pro will go a long way
to making your experience an enjoyable one.
The Handheld Digital Microscope Pro provides low
powers from 20x up to 200x and connects to your
Macintosh or Windows PC via USB 2.0. (NOTE:
Depending on the size of your monitor, you may be
able to attain 800x magnifi cation) This microscope is
a low magnifi cation power microscope, mainly suited
for examining specimens like coins, stamps, rocks,
electronics, insects, and other 3D objects. Specimens
on slides can be viewed, but this microscope is not ideal
for this purpose. You can see some of our biological
microscopes more suited to this type of viewing at www.

The Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro does
not use an eyepiece like a traditional microscope.
Instead, the camera sensor "sees" the specimen with
10x magnifi cation, and the image is displayed on the
computer screen. This makes viewing fun, cuts down
on eye and neck strain, and allows for easy sharing with
others. You can hold the microscope in your hand while
observing large surfaces away from a normal lab setting,
or use the included professional stand for more precise,
hands-free viewing. Recording still images and video
is a snap. You can save, transfer, and share your image
fi les quickly and easily with the included Celestron Micro
CapturePro software.
Take some time to read the simple care, maintenance
tips in this manual to ensure that your Handheld Digital
Microscope Pro provides you with years of quality
performance.
