thank you! Excellent presentation!

Hi! Thanks for your review - it was really helpful in deciding between this model and one of Amscope’s models - the T490 LED. What mainly steered me away from the Stellar model was essentially the condenser was not removable, so if I ever wanted to add a phase contrast turret I would not be able to with the Swift model… Amscope has upgrades available for reasonable prices as well. Nevertheless, the Stellar Pro is a beautiful Scope!

Thanks

I’ve also noticed the 1w led is not bright enough, but the circuit holding the led is simple to replace. Looking into a 5v 3w led mounted on a plastic or metal surface the same size as the original. Have you looked into anything similar?

Thanks ever so much for this review! Most helpful! I have had difficulty getting any response from Swift as well, which is quite off putting! I haven't bought my scope yet - which, you'd think, they'd be keen to reel me in! 🙃 Anyway, my question to them, was what was, how exactly does the 'Stellar 1 Pro-T' differ from the 'Stellar 1-T'. But you have now made me question whether the Swift is thebest option for me at all 🙈 Did you upgrade? And if yes, can you give me pointers, please? Price-wise, realistically, I think this is my max... Many thanks in advance!

Can you put a 3 watt light bulb in place of the 1 watt? Is the auto shut off feature a problem? If you want to turn the auto feature off, can you? Enjoyed the video, although, I would have liked to have seen how you hook up a camera. I have a Nikon DSLR 7500, will this work on the microscope? Thank you.

What is the use for infinity objectives if you don't have any accessories to put in thecloptical path? Do they sell a an analyser for that purpose?

I have noticed significant dust and grime when I look through my eyepieces. It does not rotate with eyepieces, head or the objectives. It is seen at all magnifications. It is not seen through the camera port. However, moving eyes laterally when looking through the eyepieces, I can see them shift, so I’m quite certain it’s in the head. Have you had this problem? Quite interested in how to clean the trinocular head to get a clear image.

Thanks for the video. Do you have an idea of what microscope that you may upgrade to? cheers

Greetings my friend! Please tell me how to be!? I have a canon eos 80d. there is no sharpness at 4x magnification. only on 10× 40× and 100×. But! If I put another slideglass under 4x the sharpness appears. What adapter do I need for my APS-C mirrorcamera? Thank you as always!

Omax has models with LEDs starting at 3w usually for the same price range or less (albeit without the same tier of objectives), Amscope seems to start at 1w and go up to 3w as their standard, $600-700 seems to be minimum for 3w Kohler though, with somewhat decent objectives. Both offer adjustments on condensers. Amscope seems to offer some higher tier objectives overall, so it seems like that's where I'll start my microscope journey. With more room for upgrades down the line, without getting too wild it seems like a decent bet...They have plan fluor, but not any apo objectives that seem worthwhile, maybe they had a 4x if I remember. Stopping at Fluor would likely be my goal, as it would allow me to use for future upgrades like an actual fluorescent setup, rather than just a highly upgraded biological setup. It will be for work, but I also plan on posting tons of pics and want that top quality of course! The only reason I didn't jump on Swift were the exact reasons you mentioned. Namely the adjustable condenser and 1w LED. This video is great because it's not just about swift explicitly, it goes to show what really matters when buying this type of economic compound microscope, and goes to show that some truly great images can be had while staying budget friendly. Your captures look great and can make out so much detail. The technology sure has come a long way, or at least the affordability. Really appreciate the video as I'm a total beginner and looking forward to comparisons to help others decide what's best for their uses! This cleared up a ton.

I have a hard time finding anything good in the China microscope brands, even though they appear to have nice designs on the surface, when you dig deeper they all seem to have major shortcomings. So I'm leaning towards saving up for a used Leica or Olympus microscope.

Is there a way to know if Brand X Model Y microscope is optically and mechanically compatible with Brand Z microscope camera? What numbers on each do you want to look for and compare?

What would you say its the best beginner microscope?

Greetings my friend! Why are there no subtitles? I do not understand English. Without subtitles it's very, very bad...
