It has 4 objectives incuding an oil one. The highest power objs have spring loading to protect the lens. It has an aperture wheel with focusing mechanism to control the Fstop and focus of the light entering the slide, as well as a brightness adjustment on the LED source itself. The LED light is bright, not too blue, and doesn't get as hot as a regular bulb. The eyepiece objectives allow independent diopter adjustment so each eye can see clearly with or without glasses, and while there was some dust present, it's not overly distracting. I wish however that they came with rubber cups for eye relief, and dust covers for the lense tops (they do have covers for the end caps) The stage has smooth gearing for moving the slide around in 2 planes, and the slides clip in easily with a spring mounted slide grip, which I greatly prefer to the old school clips that held a slide down on the ends. Changing slides can be done in seconds with one hand. The focusing mechanism is another area I wish they had done differently. There are 2 different focusing knobs for coarse/fine and the fine adjustment focus kind of rides on the coarse adjustment and has limited travel. So you can only adjust fine focus so far before you have to re-center the focus knob, then use coarse focus again. This has you hunting back and forth often and makes focusing a chore. This is made worse by the lenses not being parafocal out of the box. Thus you will be racking focus a LOT as you change objectives and use the scope. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/374694906-celestron-44135-cl-cb1000cf-binocular-head-compound-microscope-40-1000x](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/374694906-celestron-44135-cl-cb1000cf-binocular-head-compound-microscope-40-1000x) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
