SWIFT Swiftcam 18 Megapixel Camera for Microscopes, with Reducing Lens, Calibration Kit, Eyepiece Adapters, and USB 3.0 Cable, Compatible with Windows/Mac/Linux

It's fairly good microscope.It provides good value for the money, but my expectations were a bit bigger, though.It has really nice and smooth turning table for the objectives, it is sturdy and focus nobs work nicely. Light you can adjust which is nice as well.Ocular turning might be a bit smoother but it doesn't pose nay problem like this.What bugs me a bit are particles you can see under certain focus that I can't clean off. Not sure are they on the lenses or inside tube or where. It's not a big issue, but it's a speck on a already really decent entry microscope.Diaphragm is useless.

THE ROTATING ROING OF OBJECTIVE LENSES WOBBLES LOOSELY AND WONT LINE UP WITH THE EYEPIECES. THE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH CAME WITH THE MICROSCOPE ARE ALL IN CHINESE WHICH I CANT READ. ONLINE, THE ENGLISH VERSION ASSUMES THAT THIS DISC OF LENSES WILL WORK SO THERE ARE NO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS AND I CANNOT FIND A WAY OIF CONTACTING THE COMPANY FOR ADVICE.

As a retired biomedical scientist, specialised in haematology and blood transfusion, I can assure you, light microscopy is only effective up to 1000xResolution is the key to differentiating 2 or more different elements on the slide. Light waves are unable to do this over 1000xElectron microscopy is used in healthcare to differentiate tissue inclusions for this very reason.

As someone who uses a microscope for a living, just be aware that NO microscope at this price could be classed as "professional"! It may well be a pretty good hobby 'scope though. Just don't fall for the hype :)

I have been using this microscope for some weeks now. The quality & clarity is brilliant. I run a wildlife care centre dealing with small mammals. This has proved invaluable for screening stool samples for endoparasitic burdens of these creatures. It is far superior to my previous 'professional' microscope. The only negative that might affect someone new to using a microscope is the fact that the instruction manual that came with it was totally written in Chinese. It would serve Swift well to commission an English written manual to go with this superb microscope.

Macchina veramente fedele. Se si effettua una buona "taratura" dello strumento si ottengono immagini molto vicine a quelle che si osservano visivamente. La risoluzione di 18 Mpixel è sufficiente per ottenere fotografie nitide e precise. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

great money value.

comme je dit c'est un tres bon microscope je l'ai eu a 180€ donc pas du tout decu a ce prix la mais 260€ je sais pas ca fait un peu cher

Das Mikroskop ist super.Nur hatte offensichtlich das Montageteam die Schrauben am Gehaeuse zu fest angezogen und einige Kratzer im inneren des drehbaren Kopfs erzeugt. Zum Glueck sieht man diese nicht. Ich habe keine Lust das zurueckzusenden
