Editorial Review:
Using fully coated optics, with a mechanical tube length of 160mm, its achromatic objectives promises great observing sessions. The unit has a monocular 45 inclined, 360 rotatable head, positive click stop nosepiece with three objectives, 4x, 10x, 40x, a metal 110mm x 120mm stage and a five aperture diaphragm. It uses coarse and fine focus with electrical illumination with a tungsten 20w bulb and .65 single lens condenser. Powers are 40x, 100x and 400x using the 10x eyepiece.
Perfect for the budding biologist, the Celestron 4050 biological microscope gives you the power and control to study samples with depth and clarity. This monocular unit is inclined at 45 degrees. A 360-degree rotatable head and positive-click nosepiece with three objectives (4x, 10x, 40x) round out the optical portion of the scope. Electrical illumination and a metal 110mm by 120mm stage with a five-aperture diaphragm complete the package.

Great specs. This scope has nearly the identical specifications to the one I bought for medical school 20 years ago. The optics are just wonderful. What amuses me is the fact that this scope costs 1/4 of what we all paid back then! For the high school, college or med student (not for anatomy though), this should do the trick nicely. For the anatomist, anatomy scopes should be available in the dissecting lab for that purpose.
