Review: it's a good cam but the software disk it comes with is a nope. - it's a good cam but the software disk it comes with is a nope. i ran this cam with the disk supplied software on one computer and dealt with the low quality images but then switched computers .. and the daggone thing wouldn't connect (a la many of the 1star reviewers). but then i downloaded the appropriate program from the celestron website and instoslammo, cam works and everything is a whole lot better than the program on the supplied disk. if you had the same connection issues and were about to return it, try going to celestron's site. Review: No app available for tablets. - My intended use for this product is to photograph and video cyanobacteria and other aquatic life. The imager works with Windows and Macs, but Celestron does not have an Android app for it. It does NOT work with generic USB microscope apps such a MScopes. The software you need must be downloaded from Celestron and I recommend you follow their links from their "store" entry for this item to get the right version of manual and software. Also know that the camera image is a fraction of the eyepiece field of view. The software does have graphic tools including a scale, but I find the calibration tool for that scale to be quirky. Overall a nice product but it could use a bit of refinement for the software, and an app for Android tablets. ## Features - Turn any traditional microscope a digital microscope!

What's wrong?** A: Check if there is a break in the signal wire near the USB (White wire) you may have bent it too far. It only takes a fraction to do harm to such a tiny wire. **Q: Is it compatible with zeiss primo star? thank you** A: I'm sorry but I do not know the answer. **Q: How do you get an image to appear on the screen with a chromebook? Plugging in the usb does nothing.** A: It seems that OS for a chromebook is "Chromium" which is not fit for the Celestron Digital Microscope imaging. The instrument (Celestron DMI) works on Windows PC. **Q: I know this camera will not resolve at 5mp using photo booth, however, will it resolve at 5mp using windows 10 camera app?** A: Nope. 2.1 mp is what I get in Windows Camera producing 16.9(1920x1080) images. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it's a good cam but the software disk it comes with is a nope. *by A***N on June 30, 2025* it's a good cam but the software disk it comes with is a nope. i ran this cam with the disk supplied software on one computer and dealt with the low quality images but then switched computers .. and the daggone thing wouldn't connect (a la many of the 1star reviewers). but then i downloaded the appropriate program from the celestron website and instoslammo, cam works and everything is a whole lot better than the program on the supplied disk. if you had the same connection issues and were about to return it, try going to celestron's site. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ No app available for tablets. *by T***N on October 25, 2023* My intended use for this product is to photograph and video cyanobacteria and other aquatic life.

Overall a nice product but it could use a bit of refinement for the software, and an app for Android tablets. ### ⭐ Software installation is an exercise in circular frustration. *by J***N on April 1, 2026* Requires installation of software on host computer. A software CD was not included in the box. The quick start guide included in the box says to download software from website. Software installation process requires user to enter the unique serial number of the imager; it's a no-go without this number. Instructions state that this S/N is printed on the envelope containing a software CD included in the box. But no CD was included in the box! This may be an excellent imager, but Celestron makes it very difficult for the purchaser and would-be user to actually install, set up and utilize it. Needlessly frustrating! ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 44422 Digital USB HD Microscope Imager, 5MP CMOS Sensor, Mac & Windows Compatible, Black - OPTO-EDU E35.3501 Blank Microscope Slides & 100-Pieces Square Cover Glass, Glass - AmScope Microscope Slide Preparation Kit Including Slides, Stains --- ## 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.ni/products/29102276-5mp-cmos-digital-usb-microscope-imager-digital-camera-captures-hi](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/29102276-5mp-cmos-digital-usb-microscope-imager-digital-camera-captures-hi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
