1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Celestron MicroDirect® 1080p HD Handheld Digital Microscope and 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 viewing pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance.
®
Before attempting to use your MicroDirect
1080p HD
microscope, please read through the instructions and reference
the diagrams below. Familiarizing yourself with the many
features of the MicroDirect
®
1080p HD microscope will go a
long way to making your experience an enjoyable one.
®
The MicroDirect
1080p HD microscope is a handheld digital
microscope designed to connect, via the included HDMI cable,
directly to your TV monitor or projector displaying full 1080p
HD streaming video! There is no need for a computer when
using the MicroDirect
®
1080p HD microscope.
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.
The Celestron MicroDirect
use an eyepiece like a traditional microscope. Instead, the
embedded camera sensor acts as the eyepiece, and combined
with the lens assembly, the object is magnifi ed and digitized.
The HDMI connection then sends that digital signal out to
your monitor or projector for incredibly clear 1080p video
streaming. This allows you to view specimens easily and share
the large live streaming image with a room full of people.
Viewing is also more immediate and eye and neck strain are
removed from the equation, unlike traditional microscopes.
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. Capture still images directly to your MicroSD card for
download later. Record video by connecting the MicroDirect
1080p HD microscope directly to you PC using the USB
cable and you are ready to start capturing 720p HD movies.
