Comments about Celestron Model #44108 1500x Professional Biological Microscope:
This scope has it where it counts. With an Abbe condenser, mechanical stage, and iris aperture adjustment, it suits my needs perfectly as a biology hobbyist. Since plan optics weren't in my budget, this was the best bet because I can upgrade to better optics at a later point in time.
The illumination is great for this scope. Magnified slides look incredibly clear, all the way up to 1500x magnification.
