  • Celestron Labs S10-60 Stereo Microscope

    The Celestron Labs S10-60 Stereo Microscope provides a versatile magnification range from 10x to 60x through its dual 1x and 3x stereo objectives and two included sets of wide-field 10x and 20x eyepieces. Its all-metal body houses both upper and lower LED illuminators for viewing opaque or translucent subjects, while the stereo head offers a comfortable 45° incline and can be rotated a full 360° for shared viewing. The rack-and-pinion focuser provides 43mm of travel to bring fine details on 3D objects like insects, minerals, and documents into sharp focus.

    10x to 60x Magnification with 4 Optical Combinations

    Unlike microscopes with a single fixed magnification, the S10-60 uses a combination of rotating objectives and interchangeable eyepieces to deliver four distinct power levels. By pairing the dual 1x and 3x objectives with the included 10x and 20x eyepiece sets, you can achieve 10x, 20x, 30x, and 60x magnification. This allows you to first locate an area of interest at low power and then switch to high power to examine fine surface details without changing the specimen.

    Dual Upper and Lower LED Illumination

    The S10-60 integrates two independent LED light sources to accommodate a wide variety of three-dimensional subjects. The upper illuminator shines down onto the stage, ideal for revealing the texture, color, and surface features of opaque objects like coins, stamps, or mineral samples. For translucent specimens such as leaves or prepared slides, the lower illuminator provides backlighting, revealing internal structures with clarity.

    360° Rotatable Head and All-Metal Body

    Designed for both individual analysis and group collaboration, the stereo head is inclined at a 45° angle for comfortable viewing and can rotate a full 360°. This lets you easily share the view with a lab partner or student without moving the entire microscope. The robust, all-metal construction ensures stability during focusing and provides the durability needed for classroom or workshop environments, standing in contrast to lighter, plastic-bodied alternatives.

    Versatile Stage Plates and 2 Included Specimens

    The microscope's stage is equipped with two removable plates to optimize contrast for different subjects. One plate is a reversible black and white disc, allowing you to choose the background that makes your specimen stand out most clearly. The second is an opaque white glass plate for use with the lower illuminator. To get you started immediately, the Celestron S10-60 includes two professionally encased insect specimens right in the box.

  • How do I achieve the four different magnifications with the S10-60?

    The Celestron Labs S10-60 achieves its four power levels by combining its objectives and eyepieces. You get two objective settings (1x and 3x) and two sets of eyepieces (10x and 20x). The combinations are:

    • 10x Magnification: 1x objective with 10x eyepieces
    • 20x Magnification: 1x objective with 20x eyepieces
    • 30x Magnification: 3x objective with 10x eyepieces
    • 60x Magnification: 3x objective with 20x eyepieces

    When should I use the upper versus the lower illuminator on the S10-60?

    Use the upper illuminator for opaque, solid objects where you want to see surface detail, like coins, minerals, or circuit boards. Use the lower illuminator for translucent specimens, like insect wings, thin leaf sections, or prepared slides, where light needs to pass through the object to reveal its internal structure.

    Is the Celestron Labs S10-60 suitable for viewing bacteria or cells?

    No. The S10-60 is a low-power stereo microscope designed for viewing 3D objects, with a maximum magnification of 60x. Viewing microscopic organisms like bacteria or individual cells requires a high-power compound or biological microscope, which typically offers magnifications from 400x to 1000x.

    What is the benefit of the S10-60's 360° rotatable head?

    The 360° rotatable head allows you to share your view without physically moving the microscope. This is extremely useful in educational settings, workshops, or when collaborating on an inspection, as you can simply turn the head to face a colleague or student.

    Can I use the S10-60 to inspect a stamp collection?

    Yes, the S10-60 is an excellent choice for philately. The 10x to 60x magnification range is ideal for examining printing details, watermarks, and paper texture. The upper LED illuminator will provide the direct light needed to see surface features clearly.

    Does the S10-60 microscope require batteries?

    No, the Celestron Labs S10-60 does not have a battery option. It is powered by the included universal AC adapter, which supports 100-240V and comes with interchangeable plugs for Type A, C, G, and I outlets, making it suitable for international use.
