Celestron 44104 500x Power Advanced Biological Microscope

 Celestron’s products in the optical field are well-known as offering decent quality for a low price. The Celestron 44104 550x Power Advanced Biological Microscope is another example of a product that fits into this category. It offers many advanced features that are hard to find in microscopes for sale at this price level.


Good lighting of an object to be viewed is an essential part of the design of any microscope and the Celestron 44104 is equipped with an electric illuminator for the direct control of light. This illumination can be further refined and concentrated by the Abbe condenser and Iris diaphragm. The solid build of the Celestron 44104 is further enhanced by the metal mechanical stage which has knobs controlling both vertical and horizontal axes to enable easy centring of the specimen to be viewed.


This model is a traditionally built microscope with three objective lenses covering a range of 4x, 10x and 40x magnification. The specimens are viewed through either a 10x or 12.5x eyepiece which means that if the 12.5x eyepiece is combined with th40x objective lens a total magnification of 500 times is obtained. The microscope has a sturdy all-metal body with a monocular head. The focusing ring has both coarse and fine focusing knobs.
