The Swift SW380B-EC5R-BSC has been updated to include a new Swift 5.0 megapixel camera and 100pcs blank slides and 100pcs coverslips for easy use.
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.
Step 1
Slide the camera mount directly into your microscope's eyepiece tube (fits 23.2mm eyepieces)
Step 2
Connect the USB cord to your computer's USB 2.0 port
Step 3
Begin streaming live videos or taking still pictures in full color
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 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. Power supply is built directly into the microscope base. Kit comes with power adapter, blue filter, immersion oil, and dust cover.

Really, really impressive microscope for the price. Used to use research microscopes in university labs in the past and wanted something like them. This Swift microscope stacks up well against those from what I remember and should provide more than enough power for most users who aren't looking for anything crazy high end.-Secure packaging: the microscope was shipped very securely in fitted styrofoam cushioning inside the box, nothing rattled around or broke in transit. Assembly was easy, all I had to do was pop in one of the two pairs of eyepieces included, plug in the microscope, and it was ready to go.-Versatility: the swappable objectives and eyepieces make this microscope worth the price alone, in my opinion. Locked on components are good for microscopes that see a lot of wear and tear (like in a classroom), but I like that you can easily upgrade this microscope by buying a new pair of eyepieces or a different objective lens. Super sturdy, heavy and big. Looks like it'll last me years.-Great glass: it's not a Nikon or Zeiss who make super high end optics for cameras and professional research, but those scopes run thousands of dollars. For my purposes and for most casual users, the glass in this microscope performs fantastically. Images are clear and sharp all the way up to 800X magnification (I haven't tried using the 100X objective yet for higher magnification, too lazy to use the immersion oil). Unlike cheaper microscopes, this one comes with a fine focus knob that actually is pretty fine which allowed me to get sharp visuals. I looked at some stained tissue slides with this microscope and was impressed at how clear even the higher magnifications were. Check out my awesome iphone pictures (looking to get a decent eyepiece camera and I'll try to remember to update the photos)-Smooth controls: making adjustments is really easy on this microscope. The stacked coarse and fine focusing knobs are extremely smooth and let you get precise with fine-tuning. The knobs to move the stage and the slide plate are also very fluid. The base and arm are both made of sturdy metal -- hefty but not too heavy. The binocular head also allows you to adjust and move each eyepiece independently, which makes focusing so much easier. I liked that the dimmer on the LED light was continuous and that the highest illumination level was nice and bright without leaving spots when I looked away. Diffused the light well.

I bought this microscope to use for homeschooling my kids (ages 5, 7, and 13) after doing some research to make sure we were getting a high-quality microscope that they could use all the way up through our high school biology curriculum. I'm really pleased with the quality -- the construction feels very sturdy and helps the kids take it seriously instead of seeing it as a toy.The microscope has a really smart design. For example, instead of individual clips, the stage has a movable slide holder that you can adjust without messing with the slide or the stage position, so you don't have to re-focus every time you want to look at a different part of the slide. The fine and coarse control knobs on both sides are also great, especially if your family has a mix of right and lefthanded kids like mine! As a bonus, the microscope comes with 2 sets of eyepieces (10x and 20x), which gave me a hands-on way to teach the kids about how magnification works.We're all impressed by how sharp and clear the magnification is, especially for the price. Because the microscope came with 50 blank slides, I was able to get the kids excited immediately about looking at items from our house and backyard. We looked at salt and sugar crystals, some puddle water, and a blood smear right away. My 5 year old needs some help preparing slides, since the covers are made of sharp glass, but the other two do great on their own. I'm planning to order a set of prepared slides for Christmas so they have more to explore.It's been a long time since I learned how to use a microscope in school, and clearly there have been massive improvements to how easy they are to use and how much you can see. Highly recommend to any family who wants a high-quality but affordable microscope that you and your kids can enjoy!

Pretty impressive for a basic microscope with no fine focusing! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the optics, even at higher magnifications. The top light is only usable at lower magnifications, but I tried it with a penny and hair and got a lot of detail. The best part is the number of accessories the kit comes with, including stains and blank slides to make your own slides. The prepared slides could be a bit more uniform and concentrated in the middle of the slide, since it gets a bit annoying to have to move the slide around the stage to see everything, but for the price point I wouldn't expect anything fancier. (Note that if you're getting the kit for little kids, the slides are real glass and will require adult supervision for safe handling.) Would be a great gift for little kids as an intro to microscopes!
