Question: Does it plug and play on a 64 bit system ? (windows 7 64 bit) I had a problem with my last microscope installing on this.
Document: I bought this for one purpose: to take close up pictures of coins to sell on line. It does this very well. Needs very little lighting, easy to focus, easy to set up. Only problem I had was that the CD had obsolete software that did not work on Windows 7 64 bit. A download from celestron website solved that. Chat people at Celestron very helpful. Note that I have only used this for still pictures.
I purchased this microscope to use for viewing mineral specimens and it does a good job for the money. My only complaint so far is that I didn't find it that easy to set up and install on my computer (Windows 7 system) It actually installed o.k. with not much trouble but the problem was finding where it had installed it. It did not install anything on the toolbar or desktop, no shortcuts, etc.
The manufacturer's Product Description on Amazon for this microscope reads, in part, "Computer Requirements - UVC Plug and Play with Windows 7, Vista, and XP and MAC 10.4.9 and later, CD/DVD Drive and open USB Port". The part about "Mac 10.4.9 AND LATER..." is untrue for Mac users.
Works great with no problems installing on my ASUS Slate with Windows 8.1 64 bit.Little slow/jerky at times especially on high resolution. Suggestion; use low resolution to zero in then use higher.The base didn't meet my needs (knew that going in), I use magnetic base that holds micrometers.Still 5 stars.
I'm a programmer and spent many hours getting it to work on a 32 bit Windows 7. You cannot load the drivers on 64 bit windows or any Windows 8 machines.
I purchased the Celestron digital USB microscope to work with my iMac. This is a really sharp piece of equipment. Super easy plug and play. The unit is supposed to work through the Photo Booth and iChat software. Both recognize the Celestron as an optional camera but when you choose the Celestron the screen just shows black. NO IMAGE AT ALL. I searched everywhere for help (the Celestron site has none) and found a number of people who have experienced the same problem.
Only caveat is the image/video size is limited to 320x240 on a Mac. The only other option would be to install Bootcamp and Windows XP/Vista/7 on your Mac and then install the supporting software provided. I haven't tried using this product on such a Windows system.P.S. - I use a Macbook with Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Celestron Digital Microscope (44302-A)I hope this review helps any Mac users interested in buying this product.
This is an easy to use scope once you get the hang of focusing it. The included software installed easily in Win 7 64 bit and also was simple to use. It can be tricky at first trying to focus the scope. The best way is to watch the image on the screen and use both hands to adjust.
This Microscope does not work with 10.6.8 or 10.7.x so don't bother purchasing it. The last referenced Mac OS that this works with is 10.4.9 (which is over two years old). So this product is effectively a windows only product and should not be purchased by Mac users.
This is a great little magnifier! It was very &#34;Plug-n-Play&#34; (using Windows 8.1) and takes a nice looking snapshot it you want it. We found ourselves looking at tooth decay, moles, coins, bugs, up our noses and ears and much more. It really opens-up a world of micro-fun! ; - )  Be aware that focusing the camera is a combination of distance from the object and adjusting the knob.
Answer: YES I DOES. I HAVE WINDOWS 8.1 64BIT.
