Product Description
Product Description:
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.

The microscope offers a good view at 100x total mag, but at 400x, the condenser is not cutting it. Everything is a bit blurry, and i cannot focus correctly.The 40x objective has some kind of dirt in 5 places which sucks

Solid, pretty heavy. Clear images. My 4-yr old uses it by herself, can easily adjust focus and the mechanical stage.

I purchased the SWIFT SW380B 40X-2500X Magnification compound microscope in July 2020, and overall, I've been quite happy with its performance. However, recently, I encountered an issue with the stage control.I reached out to the support team via email last week but have not received a response yet. Considering the 5-year warranty mentioned in the provided documentation, I am hopeful that the company will address this matter promptly.I am looking forward to a resolution to the stage control issue and hope to experience the excellent customer service that is expected from a reputable company.Best regards,Jeff

Nice for home and simple teaching. Only downfall is no upper light to light down onto slides, but has most of the other features you would want/need including a solid and wide base preventing tipping when kids try to see slides. Very sturdy and well built. We fashioned a Tupperware and foam to hold/protect lenses for safe-keeping as they come in mini ziplock bags.

Prima volta che acquisto un usato garantito da amazon, devo dire che ho avuto fortuna perchè il prodotto è pari al nuovo ma il prezzo è stato molto conveniente, ovviamente era un unico pezzo disponibile.In generale consiglio questo modello binoculare rispetto a quello con il tubo dedicato alla telecamera (380T) perchè sono praticamente identici, il telecamera la puoi collocare tranquillamente in uno dei due portaoculari e risparmi quasi cento euro.Purtroppo essendo un microscopio semi prefessionale, non è dotato di alimentazione a batteria (quelli seri funzionano solo con la presa a muro) e non ha il top led..... sinceramente avrei gradito entrambe le cose.Gli obiettivi sono molto luminosi ma per ingrandimenti più spinti, spesso mi ritrovo che per mettere a fuoco il campioncino, la lente mi fa a toccare il vetrino.. forse un tubo mezzo centimetro più lungo sarebbe stato meglio.Comunque nel complesso è un ottimo prodotto.Allego la foto di un paramecio e di una colonia di Volvox

Great microscope. It magnifies everything very clearly, and is easy to set up. The best quality I’ve ever seen. Will continue to use. Would recommend!

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.

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.

The microscope came very well packaged to protect it from damage in shipping. It arrived in mint condition with sensitive parts shrink wrapped or otherwise protected. Instructions were clear and it was very easy to assemble. Pictures were clear even at higher magnifications. The controls were essentially the same as every other microscope regarding toggling the slide left-right and up-down. The controls were well lubricated and very smooth moving even at higher magnifications. Two sets of lenses come with plastic storage bags to prevent dust collection, and the scope comes with a plastic cover for the same purpose. No complaints here. Excellent scope for the price. Will serve all my purposes as a primary care physician and amateur mycologist/naturalist.

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!
