Get up close and personal with your specimens when you use this Celestron Labs CM800 microscope. Upper and lower LED lighting units stay cool and illuminate slides for natural-looking results at magnifications from 40x to 800x. Enhanced with an adjustable stage, this all-metal Celestron Labs CM800 microscope is stable and easy to use.
Q: What is the highest magnification level of this Celestron microscope?
A: This microscope has a maximum magnification of 800x.
Q: How many prepared slides are included with the microscope?
A: The microscope comes with 10 prepared slides.
Q: What type of illumination does the Celestron Labs CM800 microscope use?
A: The microscope uses upper and lower LED illumination that stays cool to the touch.
Q: How is the lower illumination adjusted on this microscope?
A: The lower illumination is adjusted using a simple condenser with a rotating disc.
Q: Does this microscope have an adjustable stage?
A: Yes, this microscope has an adjustable stage with metal clips.
A: When the objective turret is rotated and another magnification used, the microscope must be refocused. The image from each objective focuses at a different point.
Q: Would you recommend this for me to looks at germs in animal saliva for a science fair project?
A: To see small organism swimming in animal saliva, you will need at least 400x magnification, but higher magnification will reveal germs in greater detail. The Celestron Labs CM800 should work well.
Q: Can you see cell structures?
A: To see the outline of the nucleus of an animal or plant cell as distinct from the rest of the cell, a microscope with moderate resolution quality will be able to achieve this at 400x magnification. However to see the details of cell structure requires a much stronger level of magnification – 1000x – and the ability to view the specimen using the oil immersion technique. For this I recommend the Celestron Labs CM2000CF Compound Microscope, 44130 https://www.celestron.com/products/celestron-labs-cm2000cf.
