INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MODEL #44308
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.
celestron.com.
a. in the BoX
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.

MODE D’EMPLOI
MODÈLE # 44308
1. INTRODUCTION
Merci d’avoir acheté le microscope numérique portatif pro de Celestron avec capteur 5 MP et support professionnel. Votre
microscope est un instrument optique de précision, fabriqué à partir de matériaux de la plus grande qualité afi n d’assurer sa
durabilité et sa longue durée de vie. Il est conçu pour offrir un grand confort d’utilisation avec un minimum d’entretien.
Avant de commencer à utiliser votre microscope, lisez ces
instructions et les schémas d’illustration ci-dessous dans
leur totalité. Vous familiariser avec les fonctionnalités
variées du microscope numérique portatif pro sera
d’une grande aide pour vous garantir une expérience
d’utilisation agréable.
Le microscope numérique portatif pro permet un
agrandissement basse puissance de 20x à 200x et
se connecte via USB 2.0 aux ordinateurs PC et Mac.
(REMARQUE : dépendant de la taille de votre moniteur,
vous pourriez pouvoir atteindre un agrandissement
de 800x). Ce microscope est un microscope à basse
puissance d’agrandissement qui est plus adapté à
l’examen de pièces, timbres, pierres, composants
électroniques, insectes et autres objets 3D. Les
spécimens contenus sur des lames peuvent être
observés, mais ce microscope n’est pas conçu pour ce
faire. Vous trouverez nos microscopes biologiques plus
adaptés à ce type d’observation à cette adresse : www.
celestron.com.
A. dANS lA BOÎTe
Le microscope numérique portatif pro de Celestron
n’est pas équipé d’un oculaire comme les microscopes
traditionnels. Au lieu de cela, le capteur « observe » le
spécimen à un agrandissement de 10x puis l’image
est affi chée sur un écran d’ordinateur. Cela rend
l’observation amusante, limite la fatigue des yeux et du
cou et permet de partager les images plus aisément.
Vous pouvez ainsi tenir le microscope à la main tout en
observant de grandes surfaces hors d’un environnement
de laboratoire, ou utiliser le support professionnel livré
avec pour permettre une observation mains-libres et plus
précise. L’enregistrement d’images fi xes ou de vidéos est
un jeu d’enfant. Vous pouvez enregistrer, transférer et
partager vos images rapidement et aisément à l’aide du
logiciel Celestron Micro CapturePro inclut.
Prenez le temps de lire les conseils simples d’entretien
et de maintenance contenus dans ce manuel pour
garantir la plus longue durée de fonctionnement et les
meilleures performances possibles pour votre microscope
numérique portatif pro.
