Celestron Labs CB1000CF Compound Binocular Microscope

Binocular Precision and 1000x Power for Lab, Classroom, and Field Use

The Celestron Labs CB1000CF Compound Microscope combines the comfort of binocular viewing with high-performance optics and robust mechanical controls, delivering a professional-level experience at an accessible price. With magnification up to 1000x, a fully mechanical stage, and fine/coarse focusing, this microscope is designed for students, educators, and lab professionals who need reliable precision and clarity.

This model features achromatic DIN objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x oil immersion) and dual 10x eyepieces for bright, true-colour viewing at four magnification levels—40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x. Whether you're exploring prepared slides or live samples, the Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm and LED lower illumination ensure well-lit, high-contrast images.

  • Please contact us before sending anything back so we can advise on the safest way

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
