What people are saying about this stamp magnifying microscope:
“I tried a couple different options before this one, all of course assembled in China. Most did not have decent instructions especially in English. This scope came with instruction in 7 or 8 languages and quite articulate. The magnification is a good as you could expect for the price I am a stamp collector and is allows for detailed inspections…”
- Terry Gleason
“This thing is great. I have been using it for over a year now and still it works like the day we bought it.
I also teach and have used it in a couple of different classrooms with the kids to help them research great things like the owl pellets last spring or the plant fibers this fall. I know things do not last forever but this one seems to be built fairly well, has a great base to it and a great lighting system…”
- Chris Hanser
“This is the second one I have bought yet, I get so much use from the first one I wanted to have a second one. The 5 MP is the highest resolution I have seen of similar products, it generates images 2592×144 pixels at highest image quality which is superb. It can easily resolve dust particles of 5 micron diameter with good lighting. I have even had it running outdoors for a week with no problem…”

Celestron Stamp Magnifying Microscope F.A.Q.
Q: Can I use this magnifying microscope for stamp collection and can the magnified picture be down loaded on the PC?
A: Yes and Yes. I have use mine to examine coins. You might need a glass slide to keep the stamp flat. While hand-held, it might not work as well viewing mounted stamps – high magnification also amplifies small hand movements.
Q: How does this show a picture on the computer monitor? Do I need to buy something?
A: Everything you need is included in the box. You will run a cord with a USB attachment to your computer.
Q: Does it works with Mac OSX?
A: Yes.
Q: Can this take bmp pictures? or are they all jpegs?
A: Yes you can save the images in Jpg, BMP, PNG and TIF. The images can be captured in 1.3M to 5M format and in an image or a video. It is an excellent device. I have recommended it to several people and bought a number of them for my clients.
