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.
Key Features
Binocular Viewing with 360° Rotatable Head
Comfortable for extended use, the binocular head features a 45° incline and interpupillary distance adjustment. Fully rotatable, it’s ideal for classroom sharing and ergonomic viewing.
Precision Optical Power up to 1000x
Equipped with 4 achromatic objectives and 10x eyepieces with pointers, this microscope delivers four magnification options:
40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x—ideal for a wide range of biological studies.
Coaxial Coarse and Fine Focus
Achieve crisp focus with individually adjustable knobs offering 0.1mm fine focus travel per rotation. Rack-and-pinion mechanics ensure smooth, reliable control.
Mechanical Stage for Precision Slide Movement
The 110mm x 120mm mechanical stage features metal slide clips and dual axis controls, allowing for smooth, hands-free positioning of specimens.
Abbe Condenser with Iris Diaphragm
For accurate light control and resolution, the built-in 1.25 NA Abbe condenser allows you to fine-tune illumination for optimal image quality, especially at higher magnifications.
Adjustable LED Illumination
Cool-running lower LED lighting with dial-controlled brightness provides consistent, even illumination for viewing translucent samples.
Durable All-Metal Construction
Built to withstand frequent lab and classroom use, the CB1000CF features a sturdy metal frame for long-term durability and stability.
