SWIFTSW350T Compound Trinocular Microscope,40X-2500X Magnification,Two-Layer Mechanical Stage,with 5.0 mp Camera and Software Windows/Mac Compatible and 5 PCS Prepared Slides and 5 PCS Blank Slides

I just got this microscope yesterday, and it far exceeded my expectations. The controls are easy to learn, the fine focus makes a huge difference in getting perfect shots, etc. It's very sturdy, made with high quality materials, the LED is extremely bright so you can see practically every specimen you want to, and it's the perfect size for a microscope. Overall 10/10 microscope, completely worth the money.

Bought this microscope for my home schooling 8 year old granddaughter. I spent much of my career sitting in front of a microscope so I know a good microscope from a cheap one. This one is really nice. It has no design flaws that I have been able to notice. The resolution of the optics is quite good...much better than I was expecting. We have not yet used the 100x oil objective so I cannot comment on that one, but the other three are excellent quality optics and both the 10x and 25x objectives are good. The stage moves smoothly and the light is strong enough to get good visualization. The trinocular allows for a camera but also allows her and I to view the slides together and discuss them. My granddaughter loves it and is learning the joys of seeing the hidden details of her world. We wanted to get her a microscope that would last her through her college years and I believe we have accomplished that with this particular instrument. I would highly recommend it! Only downside (which is ridiculously minor) was the thin little plastic cover is totally inadequate, way to small to accomplish its purpose. We ended up buying a KitchenAid mixer cover for less than $20 which fits it nicely and provides good protection to keep it clean and dust free.

Excellent microscope with infinity optics, a joy to use, this is from a biologist.

I have a curious nature and have found this microscope very useful. The software that was supposed to work with it does not; so I use VLC Media Player a free third party software to capture and download images.

I bought this to hunt and photograph tardigrades commonly referred to as water bears or moss piglets. It’s been great fun. I know nothing about microscopes, although I’m sure I used them in high school many years ago. It’s easy to use and a great value. The camera works great.

I am pleasantly surprised for the wholesomeness and great quality of this microscope. Images are sharp and clean. I am happy I got it. It is fun and unpretentious, unlike my lab microscopes.I paired it wit a Gosky iPhone adapter, the one with the protruding tube to be inserted in the tube of the eyepiece or in the trinocular head.Helpful hint: First than anything else... Center the iPhone and Gosky adapter already pre-coupled with the light field of the image while it sits on the eyepiece position, for most control and perfect coupling. A little fiddling will show a sharp capture a circular image, uniformly lighted, without vignettes.THEN, you may photograph from the eyepiece (as if you still owned a binocular microscope) or, BETTER, now troubleless and already centered, on the trinocular tube.Best of both worlds: your eyes and your camera will be both satisfied, registering images at the same time, without the need to sacrifice observation to please your camera. Your diagnosis should be as good as if you were using a $5K microscope in a hospital or a university.Pictures included, taken on my inaugural session, are: Nail with fungi under the nail plate (medium power) and old plantar wart (high power).Questions? @aldogs

Not the clearest image, but, not a bad microscope for the money. However, I got the bundle with the camera and I can't get the camera to talk to my computer. So I can't see an image using the camera. Actually it kicks me out of the program when I try to look at it. I have emailed them for help. Been wsiting 3 weeks with no assistance. I looked at Amscope, now I think that's probably what I would have purchased.

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He loves it! He’s been trying to find things to look at. It’s not as big as professional/college level microscopes, but it functions the same, is great for the home scientist who’s looking for germs and microscopic movement! Picture quality is good once you find what you’re looking for on the slide. It takes practice, but we’ve enjoyed looking at different things with it.
