FAQ
Which version of Deluxe Handheld Digital Microscope do I have?
The 44302 Deluxe Handheld Digital Microscope recently underwent a major upgrade. To determine which software you need to download, you must first identify which version of microscope you have. The OLD version of the 44302 looks like IMAGE 1 below. The NEW version 44302-C looks like IMAGE 2 below. Choose the correct software from the Support & Downloads page for the version you have. 
What are the differences between the earlier version and the NEW 44302-C?
The original 44302-C now has an adjustable illuminator wheel. It is located on the microscope’s barrel above the focus wheel (see IMAGE 3). The Celestron MicroCapture Pro V2.5 software is more robust and runs on the latest Mac and Windows operating systems.
