We enjoyed reviewing the CB2000C. Its trinocular capability enabled collaborative working and pupils had the benefit of real-time advice and feedback. As an educational tool, this was hugely beneficial. The large magnification range meant it was possible to examine a wide variety of biological specimens from whole mini organisms to microorganisms and cellular organelles.

Made from sturdy, quality materials, this biological microscope by Celestron Labs is robust and durable and well suited to use in a professional, commercial or educational laboratory. Some features were complex and the microscope did need setting up. However, we would gladly recommend this model to anyone with a little experience.
