1080p HDMI Handheld Microscope

The Celestron MicroDirect 44316 is a handheld digital microscope offering 10x to 200x magnification and a 3.5 MP CMOS sensor. It streams true 1080p video directly to a TV or projector via HDMI without requiring a computer. This makes it suitable for classroom demonstrations, laboratory inspection, and hobbyist examination of three-dimensional objects such as circuit boards, textiles, and biological specimens.

HDMI and USB-C Connectivity Requirements

Verify that your display or projector has an available HDMI input for the direct video mode. For image capture and measurement functions, confirm your Windows desktop or laptop has a free USB-C port and can install the free Celestron Labs Digital Imaging HD Software. The unit requires USB-C power delivery, so ensure a compatible power source or wall adapter is accessible for the HDMI-only configuration.

Stand and Handheld Operation Flexibility

The microscope includes a stand for stable, hands-free viewing during extended sessions or documentation tasks. Handheld mode allows manoeuvring around larger or awkwardly positioned samples that cannot fit on the stage. HDMI mode frees up a computer for other tasks while streaming live full-HD video to a shared screen. USB-C mode enables 720p recording, annotation, and measurement tools on the host PC.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the MicroDirect 44316 and what must I supply myself?

The package includes the handheld microscope, a stand, an HDMI cable and a USB-C cable. You will need a TV, projector or monitor with an HDMI input for direct viewing, or a Windows PC with a USB-C port for software capture. A USB-C power adapter may be required if the host port cannot supply enough current.

Should I use the HDMI mode or the USB-C mode for the MicroDirect 44316?

Choose HDMI mode when you want live 1080p video on a TV or projector without a computer. Choose USB-C mode when you need to capture still images, record 720p video, add annotations or take measurements using the Celestron Labs Digital Imaging HD Software on a Windows computer.

What does the 1080p HDMI output mean when the MicroDirect 44316 is connected to a display?

The microscope streams full-HD 1080p video in real time to the connected screen, letting you view magnified detail from 10x up to 200x without latency or a computer in the loop.
