Thank you for purchasing the Celestron InfiniView™ LCD Digital Microscope with a 5MP sensor and 3.5” color LCD screen.
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 Celestron InfiniView™ microscope will go a long way
to making your experience enjoyable.
The InfiniView™ microscope provides low power viewing
from 4x to 160x using the built-in software and LCD
screen. For additional magnification up to 800x, connect
the microscope to your PC. (Magnification depends on
monitor size.) InfiniView™ is a low magnification power
microscope, mainly suited for examining specimens
like coins, stamps, rocks, electronics, insects, and other
3D objects. Specimens on slides can be viewed with
top illumination, but this microscope is not ideal for this
purpose. See some of our biological microscopes more
suited to this type of viewing at www.celestron.com.
The Celestron InfiniView™ LCD Digital Microscope
does not use an eyepiece like a traditional microscope.
Instead, the camera sensor “sees” the specimen with
10x magnification, and the image is displayed on the high
resolution color LCD screen. This makes viewing fun,
cuts down on neck and eye strain and allows for easy
sharing with others. Recording still images and video is a
snap. Saving, transferring and sharing your image files is
quick and easy with the included 2.0 USB cable and your
home computer. Additionally, you can view on most TV
screens with the AV/TV Cable.
Take some time to read the simple care, maintenance
and troubleshooting tips provided for you in this manual
to ensure that your InfiniView™ microscope provides you
with years of quality performance, usage, and enjoyment.
