I was surprised how well this is built having some experience around microscopes. Well worth the price. Review: The best microscope an independent researcher can get... - This Swift SW380T microscope is just about everything I could have wanted in a scope for my research on marine cyanobacteria. For anyone who has been stuck using a single tube standard student-model scope (like my 1927 model Leitz), this is one fabulous upgrade! No more bending down sideways to position the slide, no more eyestrain, no more hours of standing over the scope causing neck and back strain, no more switching between the eyepiece and the c-mount scope camera! No more adjusting the mirror while positioning an external illuminator. The 30-degree viewing angle is perfect, no strain on the neck and back muscles. I can even lower my desk chair a bit. The ease of adjusting the interpupilary distance and the left eyepiece to match the image sharpness of the right eyepiece...these features, while common to stereo microscopes are luxurious. With both the modular trinocular head and the mechanical stage facing me, the stage controls as well as the course and fine adjustment are on the right-hand side of the scope, only the illuminator adjustment knob is on the left, which, being right-handed, makes it easy to work with this unit. The microscope came with a pair of 10X WF (wide field) eyepieces, and a pair of 25X WF eyepieces, and in the turret, 4X, 10X, 40X, and 100X eyepieces, giving a total range of magnification between 40X and 2500X. Now, occasionally, I need either lower or higher magnifications, and fortunately, I already have a pair of 15X Swift WF eyepieces, scavenged from old, damaged microscopes. And I bought a 5X eyepiece and a 0.5X C-mount lens from desertcart...so I just need to order another 5X eyepiece. I also have a 20X eyepiece, again from desertcart, so I repeat that order, as well...which I think I'll do, tonight. Now, I don't often use a 4X objective for most specimens, because my study critters are extremely tiny, so, I put the 10X objective where the 4X was, and took the 20X Plan Achromatic objective from my Leitz scope, and put it where the 10X had been, so the objective series is now 10X, 20X, 40X, 100X. Of course, if I could get a 5 or 6 lens turret, I could... The built-in illuminator is an adjustable LED (light-emitting diode), and should be sufficient for most of my work, although at its brightest, and with the diaphragm wide open, it's a bit dim at higher magnifications. I wonder if I can get a halogen illuminator for work at higher mags??? Anyway, I've tested these eyepieces and objectives against a stage micrometer (also from desertcart), and the system produces beautifully wide fields, sharp over about 85 to 90% of the field, which to my mind, qualifies the objectives as plano lenses. Oh...the C-mount BTER camera (also from desertcart), works perfectly with this microscope on the adjustable vertical tube...so as to be par-focal, in focus at the same time as the eyepieces, the ultimate grace and purpose of having a Trinocular head. Overall, for an independent researcher, someone without university or industry support, the SW380T is a dream come true! ## Features - A super sleek,multi-purpose compound microscope for viewing tiny details of specimen slides; built for clinicians, high school and university science students, and enthusiastic hobbyists alike - Professional Siedentopf head is fully rotatable for shared use and equipped with interchangeable wide-field 10X and 25X glass eyepieces fixed at an 30 degree tilt to reduce neck strain, easily adjustable for different interpupillary distances without losing focus - 4 DIN Achromatic objectives mounted in a revolving turret offer 6 magnification levels: 40X, 100X, 250X, 400X, 1000X, and 2500X - Ultra-precise focusing system to make coarse and extremely fine adjustments - Trinocular head accepts an additional eyepiece and microscope camera attachments (not included) in order to view, livestream, record, and capture magnified specimen images ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07N7TPSP7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #174 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #2 in Lab Compound Trinocular Microscopes | | Brand | SWIFT | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (696) | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 13.39"L x 9.45"W x 17.72"H | | Item Weight | 4.3 Kilograms | | Light Source Type | LED | | Magnification Maximum | 2500 x | | Manufacturer | NJEDU | | Manufacturer Part Number | SW380T | | Model Name | SW380T | | Model Number | SW380T | | Objective Lens Description | Achromatic | | Power Source | AC | | Real Angle Of View | 30 Degrees | | UPC | 796826366610 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 110 Volts (AC) | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SWIFT - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 4.3 Kilograms - **Light Source Type:** LED - **Magnification Maximum:** 2500 x - **Material:** Metal - **Model Name:** SW380T - **Product Dimensions:** 13.39"L x 9.45"W x 17.72"H - **Real Angle of View:** 30 Degrees - **Voltage:** 110 Volts (AC) ## Images ![SW380T - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hUv6a9FNL.jpg) ![SW380T - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pUJBh0ZOL.jpg) ![SW380T - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iIBEX6GIL.jpg) ![SW380T - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71il+i9jhkL.jpg) ![SW380T - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hOHLX2TaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: This microscope is used to test samples of pig semen,?

Or can I view them with the smart phone adapter?** A: Dear Natalie, Thank you for asking. It's totally up to you, but the smart phone adapter can only meet your needs of taking photos, while the camera provides rich functions like accurate measurement, image adjustment etc., in addition, the image quality is relatively stable and high. Anything else we can help, please let us know.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swift SW380T 40X-2500X Magnification, Siedentopf Head, Research-Grade Trinocular Microscope Compound Lab with Wide-Field 10X/25X Eyepieces, Mechanical Stage, Ultra-Precise Focusing, Camera-Compatible - AmScope BS-50P-100S-22 Pre-Cleaned Blank Ground Edge Glass Microscope Slides and 100pc Pre-Cleaned Square Glass Cover Slips Coverslips - AmScope Microscope Slide Preparation Kit Including Slides, Stains --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/113457564-sw380t](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/113457564-sw380t) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
