The Swift SW150 is a good low-cost microscope that will get you started in amateur microscopy. I was not paid for making this video, but was sent the microscope free of charge.

I know this is an old video, but because of you, I purchased one of these off Amazon via Canada. I ordered it yesterday and received it today. I'm so overwhelmed (in a good way). Thank you for all your help.

One point, i would like to add is the possibility of changing objektives because of the "normal thread". I´ve exchanged the 40 with a 20x and it works very well. I bought this model because of this possibility. Good to see that you also like it.

Hi Microbehunter. For observing pond life and photographing/filming them, would you suggest the Swift 150, the Swift SW200DL or the Swift 380B? I could get either of the first two microscopes now, but I’d have to save up a while for the 380B. Is it worth waiting for, compared with the two cheaper microscopes? Edit: Additionally, what’s the difference between the Swift 350T and 380T? Both seem very similar.

@MicrobehunterMicroscopy 2 жыл бұрын

The 150 an 200DL do not have a condenser. They are also much smaller, what you do not see in the pictures. Microscopes with a condenser such as the 350T and 380T are significantly better. The difference between the 350 and 380 is that the latter has a better focusing system and optics. It is also a bit larger. But the differences are not too large.

@swampwizard1031 5 ай бұрын

Great review. Just curious on the difference between this model and the 200DL. Also. i tried searching the KZfaq channel for the video about creating your own polarized light filter for this model but can't seem to find it.

Hello, I have watched your channel a lot and I have wanted to buy a microscope, due to the budget I have been thinking about the sw200 but I have a question, is this microscope compatible with commercial eyepieces? Or does it only fit the ones that come by default? Thank you very much for the content, greetings from Mexico

@MicrobehunterMicroscopy 5 ай бұрын

The eyepieces are standard 23mm, but the objectives are not standard.

Hi Sir , can the USB camera be used for the other swift optical microscope as well? ( the cheapest Swift Optical introductory/kids microscope )

@MicrobehunterMicroscopy 3 жыл бұрын

Yes becasue it is an eyepiece camera and they can be used instead of an eyepiece and the size of the eyepieces is the same.

@lucienmp Жыл бұрын

@@MicrobehunterMicroscopy I couldnt find any information about the camera. So I assume the camera is 1X so you loose the regular eyepiece 10X/20X when using the camera?

Is it possible to upgrade to a 23mm 10x eye piece for this model microscope as opposed to the 18mm eye piece upgrade?

23mm field of view eyepiece does not exist for this kind of tube. The tube of the microscope is 23mm in diameter already. Maximum would probably be a field number 20 eyepiece.
