  • Reduction lens ensures that the camera displays an accurate field of view to the microscope's magnifications
  • Versatile mounting system -- the reduction lens will fit a 23.2mm ocular port or tube, included adapters fit 30mm and 30.5mm tube sizes

Product Description

Upgrade your microscope with this Swift 10 megapixel camera, now with faster camera to computer transfer speeds thanks to the included USB 3.0 cable! The Swiftcam comes with several mounting options for maximum versatility: the reduction lens fits any 23.2mm ocular port and can be adapted for 30 and 30.5mm tubes. Use the camera with a dedicated camera port on a trinocular microscope or in place of an eyepiece on a binocular or monocular model.

Connect the camera to your computer to capture pictures and video. The reduction lens keeps the camera image true to the size and clarity that is viewable through the microscope alone. The kit includes a software CD with the Swift Imaging 3.0 application and calibration slide to ensure accuracy of measurements. (Please note: the software comes on a CD-Rom. If your computer does not have a CD drive, contact Swift for a downloadable file.)

We got this camera and Swift microscope as a package deal, for homeschooling and doing biology at co-op. Though a different brand had been recommended, we went with Swift partly because reviews of the other brand's camera indicated it was a little lacking (at 5MP). So far, after looking at hair, yarn strands, insect parts, cheek cells and various other things, we are quite happy with the purchase. The software was easy to install, the camera attached to the microscope intuitively and simply, the computer recognized the camera immediately, and the kids (both old and young) love being able to see on the computer screen what is seen through the lenses without any perceptible degradation of resolution.

Images are better than I expected; not perfect, as they can be a little soft and suffer from chromatic abberation and color fringing, but ok. The software is surprisingly good, much easier to use and more intuitive than what comes with far more expensive systems. Hand-cranked image stacks are easy to do.

I don't know if my expectations are too high but I'm a little disappointed in the quality on the pictures and videos I can get with this. I'm not 100% sure I have it all set up correctly, but I can take much, much, nicer pictures and videos by just holding my cell phone up to the eye piece. I was expecting more.

We home school and use this camera to send the microscope view to our computer screen. It works wonderful!

I purchased this camera for our reverse phase microscope recently. Installation of software is easy and it works in bot PC and Mac computer. This is a great. However, when I took pictures, the color is kinda weird. I could not adjust it to the "normal" color as I saw in my eyes.

The pictures' quality is very good, even better than the one I took by my DSLR+Adapter. I didn't give it 5 stars is because the 10MB+USB3.0 is still slow. It's not easy to adjust the focus by seeing the image on my computer's screen, unless you adjust the focus ring very very slow. Probably it's because of the 10MB resolution, may buy a lower one like 3 or 5MB to see whether it becomes more responding or not.

Virtually no computers are sold these days with a CD drive - it was not easy to find download portal on the website, and even then on the Apple Mac there are compatibility issues.There are no user instructions and the image generation is very slow making focusing very tedious.Image quality is poor I have my doubts about it being a 10megapixel camera.

As a Mac user, it is impossible to find software that camera connects to. The one from the CD works on old versions only.Installed it on old Windows PC and since then trying to work out the focus. The result is not good even with the ocular adaptor. Settings did not help at all.

Works well but at even low mag I have to set it on the lowest resolution to focus using my computer screen since I don't have a trinocular miscroscope, then change up resolution before taking the picture. It depends upon the brightness of you microscope lamp but at low mag the highest resolution I get is about 2-3 frame refreshes a second. Re the software - You have to initially calibrate each of your objective lenses for scale. Before taking a picture you have to make sure the correct mag is selected so that it can calculate the scale. If you forget, you can't change it after taking the picture so you have to do it again. When stacking images (edf) to get a better depth of field, even though all of the component images are the same scale, you cannot add a measurement scale to the edf image - you have to put a scale on one of the component images and then select, copy and paste it onto the edf later using other image processing software. It takes some getting used to but as long as you check you scale bar carefully, it's not bad.
