Detailed specifications

Mechanical stage
LED transmitted illumination
Camera port for documentation
Trinocular Siedentopf head
WF10× and WF25× eyepieces
DIN achromatic 4×, 10×, 40× spring and 100× oil objectives
Nominal 40×–2500× combinations
NA 1.25 Abbe condenser with iris
Two-layer mechanical stage with X-Y controls
Coaxial coarse and fine focus
Adjustable transmitted LED illumination
What it is like to use
A feature-rich hobby and student compound microscope with a dedicated photo tube. The 40×–1000× range is the most practically useful; 2500× is a nominal eyepiece combination rather than extra objective resolution.
What it does well
- Trinocular camera port
- Good learning/lab layout
- Mechanical stage
Fit considerations and buying checks
- Camera-ready model with camera selected separately
- Designed for transmitted-light biology and slide work
- It is intended for thin transmitted-light specimens, not soldering, coins or other large opaque objects.
Setup, workflow and compatibility
Centre specimens at 40× before increasing power. A camera requires the correct relay/C-mount adapter and should be focused to match the eyepieces.
Who should buy it?
Choose the Swift SW380T when your main work is biology, teaching, lab work and camera imaging and the specifications above match your intended specimen, workspace and capture method. Buyers should confirm the exact current bundle, included accessories, voltage, software support and return terms before ordering.
ScopePilot verdict
The Swift SW380T is strongest when judged within its own microscope category rather than by its largest advertised magnification number. Its practical value comes from the combination of optics or sensor, working distance, stand stability, illumination and viewing comfort described above.
