SW200DL

Not lab quality but good enough for hobby use. I think some reviews are a bit harsh. You shouldn't expect surgical scope quality on Christmas gift budget.

Good product

No encendía los LED, por lo que me tocó desarmarlo y arreglarlo, por suerte solo tenía un cable desconectado. El microscopio vino sin la tapa de abajo que tapa las pilas, de resto vino bien sin rayones ni ningún otro problema. Debería ponerle menos estrellas pero la verdad estoy muy contento con mi microscopio y fue sencillo de solucionar el problema.

The SWIFT Compound Monocular Microscope SW200DL with 40X-1000X Magnification, Dual Light, Precision Fine Focus, Wide-Field 25X Eyepiece and Cordless Capability was purchased during April of 2021 for the price of $91.99 plus tax. It is available now for the price of $89.99 plus tax and a 10% discount with coupon (December 3, 2024). There has been a microscope in my life ever since the 4th grade. Having been given one at that age changed my life in the direction of science as well as art. The SWIFT Monocular Microscope is an excellent choice for individuals interested in seeing some of the unseen. I have a LEICA Binocular Biological Microscope, as well as a laboratory quality NIKON Binocular Microscope. Both of which are rather large and unwieldy for travel. I acquired the SWIFT microscope because I was traveling and couldn't transport either of the other microscopes to new locations on a regular basis. It was utilized in order to become familiar with the use of a SWIFT Microscope Ocular Camera and the accompanying software...as well as the use of various focus staking software applications. In addition, I'd never used a microscope that featured illumination that originates above the stage. This SWIFT Monocular Microscope is well built, well designed, and completely portable. Although the techniques for illumination has multiplied significantly, this microscope, with the use of the SWIFT Microscope Ocular Camera, is an excellent introduction for anyone interested in the process by which photomicrographic images are produced. It would make an excellent gift for a grade schooler who exhibits an interest in the world of science. Throughout the years, I have given microscopes to children as gifts hoping that its use would introduce them into the wonderful world of microscopy. I will continue to do so!

All the samples were from a lake. It is great for the price. However, don’t assume that you’re gonna see Bacteria without a dye and a specific bacterial slide. This is because the bacteria are too transparent to be viewed by this scope if you’re just looking at lake sample. The Quality is good, and the microscope is well build. Hinges feel good. The height might be too low, so I’d recommend using it on a high table. It’s weighty enough(like 2 kilos). It functions well.

I have done a lot of research before I finally decided to give this a try. I need the real stuff, something better than those 30 dollars “digital” ones for inspecting some samples from work but I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars for the professional lab equipment either. Pros: It works. It’s solid. And it lights up from both above and bottom so it allowed me to inspect non-translucent parts. Image quality is reasonably good. Cons: The high power 40x object lens blocks the light source from above and it had a super close focus distance which combined made this lens pretty much useless. The only way I can see is by shining a flashlight from the side using one hand. Overall this thing will blow those digital ones out of the picture. And at this price point, I’ll even say it’s well made. If you need a real microscope like the one you used at middle school and you’re spending your own money I’ll say go for it.

Excellent microscope for studying microscopic organisms.

Read the 1 star reviews carefully. They are to the point. We bought this as a birthday gift. Today was his birthday and we presented it to him as his gift. He was so excited and when he opened it, it just didn't turn on. After trying for like 15 minutes, the LEDs started to show very dim and they were blinking like if there were some loose connections. Every time we turned the microscope off and on, it was unpredictable whether the LEDs are bright or dim and blinking. Even those few times that we were able to get a bright LED, the maximum magnification was not even close to 1000X. One of the lenses was not even making a focus image. It was hitting the sample glass and still no focus image. The other two lenses were ok but my estimate is that the maximum magnification was may be about 100X. So the images they show as the magnification are not accurate. Amazon is refunding this product and we are returning it. Never trusting this seller again.

Pagato meno di 100€. Offre davvero tanto per iniziare. Restituisce una visione di qualità più che discreta. Regalato ai miei figli per esplorare il micromondo. Consiglio assolutamente in questo caso l' acquisto di un set di vetrini. È un buon punto di partenza. Io sono riuscito a sostituire il tavolino con uno che monta abbe condenser e slider per vetrini. Ho aggiunto un oculare 2x e adesso ci si può fare un po' di tutto Non ho provato ma anche sostituire gli obiettivi con altri più pregiati dovrebbe essere facile, gli attacchi sono standard

Calidad-precio, el mejor microscopio que he comprado. La calidad de imagen es excelente, los materiales se sienten robustos y bien construidos. Aunque no incluye accesorios, cumple perfectamente su función y es ideal para quienes ya tienen material complementario. Muy recomendable si buscas algo fiable sin gastar una fortuna.

Se ve con buena claridad los glóbulos rojos, levaduras (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). La luz superior ayuda mucho para visualizar partes de insectos.

Affordable, well made, we owe China a true big thumb up, without china, everything is too expensive, lots of Western company hold the price extremely tight. I knew there are so many bad products, but you can't fault a jade with its dots.

Like most of these low cost microscopes they come from one or two factories in China with several names on them. Excellent quality for their low cost, everything works, two minor things, the low power eyepiece has a pointer in it which is annoying though its easy to remove if you want to do so. Also the eyepieces are a slack fit in the holder, easy to drop if you tilt the instrument down, other than that fit and finish were very good, heck they even include batteries and a dust cover. Ideal for the casual hobbyist or teen.
