Built around its 5.0MP CMOS sensor, Celestron's 44341 LCD Digital Microscope II is capable of capturing high-resolution color images and videos at 30 fps. You can view them on the built-in 3.5" color LCD display with an effective magnification of up to 400x or (with additional 4x digital zoom) on an external monitor with magnifying power of up 1600x. Also noteworthy is the 3.5 x 3.5" mechanical stage. The stage features a full X-Y motion control using two precision Vernier micrometers and offers a metal bracket for holding your specimens. To make saving your findings a seamless experience, the LCD module offers an easy-to-use control panel, a 32GB microSD memory slot, and a mini-USB data port. To provide vivid and crisp images, the optics feature achromatic objectives and bright 8-LED illumination system with adjustable brightness. In addition to digital output, this scope features an AV video out port.
Its construction features an arched frame to serve as a carry handle and a 4 x AA battery compartment for cordless operation in the field. Using four alkaline AA batteries will allow you 3 hours of uninterrupted, cordless operation.
