Use HDMI when you want a simple live image on a television, monitor or projector. USB-C adds computer capture and measurement tools. The stand, fine-focus wheel and polarizer make it far more practical for repeatable inspection than a freehand pocket gadget.

Who should buy it
MicroDirect is suited to classroom demonstrations, coins, plants and inspection where direct HDMI or USB-C viewing is useful. Because it has no built-in screen, plan where the monitor or computer will sit.
Before you order
- Confirm the Celestron Labs Digital MicroDirect name and connection type.
- Check software compatibility for the computer you intend to use.
- Use the stand for repeatable focus rather than relying on handheld operation.
