CELESTRON LABS S10-60 Stereo Microscope
Key Features
  • Siedentopf Interpupillary Adjustment
  • 1x and 3x Objectives
  • Two 10x Wide Field Eyepieces
  • Two 20x Wide Field Eyepieces
Designed for students and hobbyists, Celestron Lab's S10-60 Stereo Microscope is a versatile instrument for making detailed 3D observations of a variety of subjects such as coins, minerals, insects, leaves, textiles and documents. Dual eyepieces preserve stereoscopic vision which renders images in three dimensions, as opposed to a flat field common in single-ocular microscopes. Stereo, or dissecting, microscopes traditionally have relatively low power and a large working distance for larger subjects. This instrument has a magnification range from 10x to 60x with a maximum working distance of 2.17". The head and nosepiece are attached to the microscopes' pillar and is easily adjustable to set the correct working distance to achieve the sharpest focus.

The head and nosepiece are attached to the microscopes' pillar and is easily adjustable to set the correct working distance to achieve the sharpest focus.

The stage is built into the base to provide a large and stable area for specimens. Dual light sources above and below the stage and interchangeable stage plates enable users to optimize the light, depending on their subjects. Use the upper light and opaque plate to improve contrast on specimens for better viewing, and the lower light with the translucent plate to illuminate a specimen from below.

  • Two 10x wide field eyepieces
  • Two 20x wide field eyepieces
  • Two objectives: 1x and 3x
  • Two-position rotating turret
  • 10x and 30x magnification with 10x eyepieces
  • 20x and 60x magnification with 20x eyepieces
  • Contoured eyecups block peripheral light
Lighting
  • Upper tungsten bulb illumination
  • Lower halogen bulb illumination
  • On/off switch
Focusing

Stage
  • Adjustable working distance, 2.17" maximum
  • Stage is integrated into base with slide/specimen clips
  • Removable 3.7" diameter round stage plates for different viewing application
  • Translucent: Light passes through the plate and illuminates the specimen from below
  • Opaque: Optimal when using the top illuminator and helps to improve contrast on specimens for better viewing

CELESTRON LABS S10-60 Reviews

A good microscope

By Steven
Rated 4 out of 5

I purchased this microscope show my grandchildren the amazing things all around them. The scope works well and produces nice images. It seems to be well made. The illumination is on the dim side. The version B&H sells (with incandescent illumination) may be older; the manufacturer's website lists one with LED illumination. Also, the eyepieces can be adjusted for width but may not get close enough for some people. They barely fit me. Little kids might have a tough time seeing through both eyepieces. Still, it is a good microscope.

Great value for the money

It's no match for a commercial grade stereoscope, but for occasional basic use it's great to have. Its price is hard to beat.

Good quality for beginners like me

My eyes are probably not nearly as trained as the pro's but for a first scope that I use to help with SMD work (Electronics) this is perfect. Looked at the bugs as well - that was fun! I use this scope with the Celestron Digital Microscope Imager and got them both as a package. I already have a Celestron telescope, so I went with a brand I knew and I'm glad I did. It only lost one star because I think the lighting could have been better.

question

The recommended accessories for this microscope include batteries. Could you please advise why batteries are necessary? I assume that they are required for field work where there is no power supply, but this is not mentioned in the specification.
Asked by: Colin B.
This model does not take batteries. My apologies for the confusion. I will contact the Web Team to take this accessory down.
