    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing microscope, totally worth the price
    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2025
    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.

    Solid microscope, exactly as described. Delivered in perfect condition. Just be aware of the plugin, might need an adapter.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for tardigrade hunting
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
    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.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022
    The media could not be loaded.
    1. everything arrived OK and SO FAR it has worked OK (about a month) 2. Good quality 3. Very good image quality at 40x, 100x. 3. Image at 400x less impressive, but still OK. I recorded this video with the Swift 380T at 400x, showing the strangest beast I have seen. It is called Urocentrum turbo. It rotates rapidly due to action of three "belts" of cilia, and this rotation propels food into its mouth, which is located in the central region. The purplish basal sphere is the contractile vacuole, I believe. Enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really really nice microscope
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020
    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.

    I purchased this to replace the old microscope at my clinic which was in very bad shape. It's been in use a while now and we are very happy with it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I am a pathologist and could easily do my job with this scope!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2019
    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).
