5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT CHOICE !!, November 20, 2007

By	R. Ortega "R. Ortega" (Quito, Ecuador) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received my 44202 stereo microscope. It's just amazing. You can use it from the very first minute. If you want you can see one of the prepared slides right out the box, or any of the familiar objects at home, and you will discover a fascinating new world, hidden from your eyes.
My kids and I have used it to see a lot of bugs, spiders, flies, flowers, etc. The x20 factor is the best for 3-D viewing, while the x40 factor is best suited for flat, smaller objects like slides, stamps or similar.
The controls operate very well and allow an excellent level of command.
I have found that this microscope is solid, stable and easy to set-up.
I am very pleased to recommend this microscope.

4.0 out of 5 stars Celestron microscopes through Amazon, February 10, 2008

By	Grandpa Art (Colorado) - See all my reviews

For Christmas, I bought each pair of grandchildren a 44202 and a 44204. One of the 202's had an inoperative light switch. The replacement process was well handled although I had the hassle of returning (cost prepaid)the original to a UPS house. One of the 204's had a broken mirror which my daughter was going to handle directly through Celestron since they live on the other side of the country from me.

While I'm satisfied with the products, the customer deserves better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Celestron 44202 stereo microscope, May 26, 2009

By	Robert P. Grossmann "Jaeger" (McMinnville, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased the Celestron 44202 stereo microscope. The quality of this microscope far surpassed my expectations. The quality of the lenses and the low price are both very impressive. I do a lot of identification of insects based on minute details of their anatomy, and this scope proved worthy of great detail and resolution.
