Celestron Labs CB2000CF Compound Binocular Microscope
Advanced 2000x Magnification for Professional and Educational Use
The Celestron Labs CB2000CF Compound Microscope offers powerful optics and professional-grade functionality in a durable, lab-ready design. Featuring magnification up to 2000x, a binocular head with adjustable interpupillary distance, and a fully mechanical stage, this microscope is ideal for high school, university, and laboratory environments.
Equipped with 10x and 20x eyepieces and four DIN achromatic objectives (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x oil immersion), the CB2000CF allows you to observe a wide range of specimens with exceptional clarity and contrast. The built-in LED illumination, Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm, and coarse and fine focus dials offer precision control for high-resolution viewing, even at maximum magnification.
Key Features
Wide Magnification Range – Up to 2000x
Combine the included eyepieces with the rotating objective turret to achieve eight magnification levels:
40x, 80x, 100x, 200x, 400x, 800x, 1000x, and 2000x.
Comfortable Binocular Viewing
The 45° inclined, 360° rotatable binocular head provides a comfortable, ergonomic viewing position with interpupillary distance adjustment, ideal for extended observation or shared use.
Fully Mechanical Stage
The 110mm x 120mm mechanical stage includes slide holders and X/Y controls for precise, stable specimen positioning.
Coarse and Fine Focus Controls
Dual rack-and-pinion knobs with 0.1mm fine focus travel allow for smooth, accurate focusing—even at high magnification levels.
LED Illumination with Adjustable Brightness
Lower-positioned LED light source offers bright, energy-efficient illumination, controlled by a brightness dial for optimal visibility.
1.25 NA Abbe Condenser with Iris Diaphragm
Fine-tune contrast and depth of field for improved image clarity using the built-in Abbe condenser—ideal for oil immersion microscopy.
All-Metal Construction
Rugged and stable, the CB2000CF is built for durability in academic, clinical, or field settings.
Ready to Use Out of the Box
Includes a set of 10 prepared slides, 3 colour filters, and a vial of immersion oil—everything needed to begin observing immediately.
