Description

Our sleekest binocular compound microscope yet, the Swift SW380B boasts design elements that make it powerful enough for laboratory use, while still remaining user-friendly as a teaching tool in high school, university, and clinical settings. Serious hobbyists will also find much to love with this microscope's adaptability features, such as swappable oculars and objectives. The four achromatic objective lenses comply with DIN standards and reach the semi-plan field level, effectively improving imaging clarity. Features a Siedentopf binocular head that rotates 360 degrees for shared use and allows quick adjustments for different interpupillary distances without losing focus. The head can be locked in any position for additional stability. Ocular tubes are tilted at an ergonomic 30 degrees to reduce neck and eye strain. The microscope comes with two pairs of interchangeable 10X and 25X glass ocular eyepieces, which combine with the four achromatic DIN objectives -- 4X, 10X, 40X(Spring), and 100X(Spring, Oil) -- in the rotating nosepiece to provide 6 magnification levels between 40X and 2500X. The focusing system of the SW380B truly shines, with an ultra-precise fine focusing knob that allows incredibly exact adjustments for the clearest possible image at each magnification. An LED bulb beneath the stage transmits light up through an industry-standard NA 1.25 Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm. Manually move the condenser closer to or farther from the stage to adjust brightness and evenness of light as well as image contrast. A metal slide holder locks specimens into place for viewing on the sizeable double-layered mechanical stage while the x-y translational control knob moves the stage and the slide holder left-to-right and front-to-back, eliminating the need to re-clip slides in order to view the entire specimen. Easy to move, with a built-in handle that fits securely against the palm. The power supply is built directly into the microscope base. The kit comes with a power cord, blue filter, immersion oil, and dust cover.

    • A great upgrade for an amateur hobbyist!
Style: SW380B
I was unsure if microscopy was for me, but I was interested so I started out with the super cheap Carson Microbrite and the Carson Microflip pocket microscopes. And once I saw those little microorganisms under those pocket microscopes I was sold and I knew that I wanted to see more. I did quite a bit of research and what I knew was that I wanted a good quality microscope, but also not to break the bank. I find this microscope, as an amateur newly beginning hobbyist, to be so easy to use, super high-quality, and really fun! This microscope is definitely an upgrade from any supercheap microscope that you could get, so I would recommend this scope to someone who wants a nicer microscopy experience from a more rudimentary start. The biggest pros for me are the mechanical stage (farewell, moving slides with my hand), the high-quality optics, and the variety of light settings that you get (brightness, aperture, filter holder). What you see in some of this footage is called Dark field microscopy. I did this by taking a clear piece of plastic that cut to the size of the filter and then cut a piece of electrical tape into a slightly smaller than a dime size circle and stuck it in the center of the clear plastic. This works surprisingly well, and it elevates the scope even more, it would be great if Swift would include one of these filters with this scope. I was unsure when buying the scope how big it was going to be. Everywhere that I looked there was no clear mention of the dimensions of any of Swift’s microscopes. I think that that information is important because in my case scenario, I am having this microscope live on a shelf in my office. So here are the dimensions for the microscope. Depending on what eye piece is in or if there’s no eye piece in it, it is around 13 to 15 inches tall. The base of the scope is 9.5 inches long. The total length of the scope depends on where you have the eyepieces pointing, it’s a little hard to measure, but the longest measurement is around 13 inches long. The width is also a little hard to measure, but it’s about 8 inches. And just in case you were concerned on if the scope is too heavy for shelf to desk portability I think it is quite easy to carry with two hands. Overall, I think this scope is excellent and I think it is everything that I need for being an amateur hobbyist, I am so excited to continue exploring the microcosmos, and I am grateful that instruments like this exist to help everyday people enjoy the beauty of this world! ... show more

    • Wow. Didn't expect this quality. Even better than the previous one

I bought a different Swift microscope (SS300B) last fall that I liked and ,in fact, ended up donating for a school charity thing. Saw the new model that came out, decided to give the SW380 a try, and I'm pretty blown away by the quality, especially at this price point. I'll take some of the features point by point: -Optics: can't believe the level of detail I can get on this microscope, even at really high magnifications where cheaper microscopes tend to start getting blurry edges or losing definition. It's clear to me that Swift doesn't skimp on their glass for the objectives. Getting two different magnification eyepieces bundled with the microscope is a great bonus too for expanding the range of detail I can see. -Focusing: I can see why the product description calls the focusing knobs on this microscope "ultra-precise." The fine focus is exponentially better than all other microscopes I've tried at this price range. Super smooth and actually makes a visible difference. The inner fine focus knob moves independent of the coarse knob, which for every single style used for this level of microscope moved together. This let me easily bring the right layer of the slide into clear focus. -Body/build: I love the triangular base on the SW380 and the curved arm handle. Looks sporty and modern. It's nice when companies pay attention to these kinds of design details. It reminds me of a 2-3K Zeiss. The built-in power supply is also a smart upgrade since it makes the power cord less bulky. It's really clear that a lot of thought about the user went into these changes and they weren't done just for an upsell. -A couple knocks on packaging: the included manual was clearly not written by an English speaker and leaves a lot to be desired in terms of actual instruction. Also, the revolving nosepiece was a bit loose when I unboxed the microscope. I had to tighten it manually so it wouldn't spin when I was switching objectives. Works fine now but still not a great look. Overall: really incredible microscope, unbeatable price point. I continue to be impressed by Swift! ... show more

    • Perfect for: Homeschooling, Hugh School and College level lab experiments.
Style: SW380B
This is an incredibly easy to use Microscope if you have used one like it before. If you are used to the kids types, well, this is so much better than that. This is a High Quality- High School or College level scope. The clarity of the lenses are incredible. Though the dust that you get with it out of the box means you are cleaning the optics for 15 minutes. The dust cover is cheap, but satisfactory. I recommend building a case if you are a homeschooling family and cannot leave it out. Speaking of, this IS THE SCOPE YOU WANT IF YOU ARE HOMESCHOOLING or planning on it for many years. Your child will have the same, if not better, biology lab experience. I am so happy I spent the extra money. It is worth every penny. I have used cheap kids scopes all of the way up to electron microscopes. There are plenty of reviews that will go over the light adjustments, aperture, magnifications etc. My goal was just to tell you that it is worth the money and you need not fear skipping the higher priced- professional units. ... show more

This microscope is surprisingly well built feels very high quality and solid, the optical quality has very little Chromatic aberration even on the edges and view is clear through out! Bacteria are well defined in there shape and aren’t difficult to see they become just barely visible at 400x and 10x eye pieces and extremely visible at 1000x still on the 10x (pictures are of Algae and pond water) bacteria are like little moveing cylinders Absolutely recommend to high schools students or a curious person. ... show more

    • A Real Microscope That Requires Your Study Settings It Up
Style: SW380B
Steep learning curve. Right off the 4X & 10x objectives are super clear. The 40x requires some careful Adjustments of the condenser to see clearly and I am only beginning to figure that out. Amazon sells a book for the 380T that works for this and it’s essential because the manual that. One’s with the microscope assumes you know what you’re doing. ... show more

    • This is a superb low-cost microscope!
Style: SW380B
I am very pleased with this microscope. I am using it as a hobby, but I think you could use it for more serious work, too. The positioning of the slide/specimen on the stage is precise and convenient. With just a slight twist of the x- or y-adjustment knobs (horizontal or vertical in the view), you can move the slide around to get the specimen into perfect view. The focusing is amazingly smooth and precise, too. The coarse adjustment gets the specimen into basic focus, and then the fine adjustment allows you to fine-tune the focus, or even to move the focus up-and-down through a thicker specimen. The binocular view with the two objective lenses is surprisingly helpful. I like being able to see the specimen with both eyes. You can even swivel the objective mount around to share the view with someone next to you or even across the table! It locks into place with a set screw knob, when you get it into position. The LED illumination of the specimen is bright or not so bright, completely under your control. You even have some control over how concentrated the light is on the specimen, by using the Abbe condenser that is between the LED and the specimen. I'm still learning what exactly the Abbe condenser does, but it appears to be a useful adjustment. :-) Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Meh
Style: SW380B
There are equivalently powered, quality microscopes, with much better resolution, camera, LCD screen, and hard carrying case from other manufacturers at the same price point. However, I NOW suspect the Swift 380B I received was a damaged return (for many reasons; but hindsight is 20/20). The resolution and image quality simply isn’t very good at any magnification or by any adjustment therein. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until I purchased a microscope from VB and compared the image quality side by side (slide by slide), that I realized as I wasn’t tripping. By that time, the return period for the swift had long since lapsed. Rating 3 stars since it’s unclear whether or not I simply received a damaged item and was unaware, or if the Swift is actually operating to specification. ... show more
