Ideal for clinicians, students, and hobbyists seeking professional-grade optical performance. ## Description Product Description Swift SW380B 40X-2500X Research-Grade Compound College Lab Microscope Features a Siedentopf binocular head that rotates 360 degrees for shared use and allows quick adjustments for different interpupillary distances without losing focus. The head can be locked in any position for additional stability. Ocular tubes are tilted at an ergonomic 30 degrees to reduce neck and eye strain. The microscope comes with two pairs of interchangeable 10X and 25X glass ocular eyepieces, which combine with the four achromatic DIN objectives -- 4X, 10X, 40X(Spring), and 100X(Spring, Oil) -- in the rotating nosepiece to provide 6 magnification levels between 40X and 2500X. The focusing system of the SW380B truly shines, with an ultra-precise fine focusing knob that allows incredibly exact adjustments for the clearest possible image at each magnification. An LED bulb beneath the stage transmits light up through an industry-standard NA 1.25 Abbe condenser and iris diaphragm. Manually move the condenser closer to or farther from the stage to adjust brightness and evenness of light as well as image contrast. A metal slide holder locks specimens into place for viewing on the sizeable double-layered mechanical stage while the x-y translational control knob moves the stage and the slide holder left-to-right and front-to-back, eliminating the need to re-clip slides in order to view the entire specimen. Easy to move, with a built-in handle that fits securely against the palm. The power supply is built directly into the microscope base. The kit comes with a power cord, blue filter, immersion oil, and dust cover.

It is sturdy and high quality construction. But there was an issue with double images. It's looking like it will need collimation. Worse still, I've contacted the company and have not heard back from them in over a month. So right now I have a nice looking but expensive paper weight sitting on the desk, unless I close one eye, which defeats the purpose of getting a binocular microscope. Review: Not impressed at all - Two weeks in and the light will not come on. Changed fuse still nothing.....Not impressed at all If the LED has blown, then that's sad because one would expect a microscope hailed as research grade to last a bit longer than a fortnight. Edited : On the 3rd of march 2025. Still waiting from a response from Swift UK? They seem to not want to contact their customer base. This is a very bad way to conduct a business. I now have to consider going with a different microscope manufacturer. Swift have had a good chunk of my bank balance, but not any more. Folks forget swift and go elsewhere. EDIT 2: Purchased a new LED still nothing, so the transformer has gone. What a hunk of junk. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Colour | Blue | | Light source type | LED | | Material | PLA_(Polylactic_Acid), PAI_(Polyamide_Imide), PE_(Polyethylene), Metal | | Model name | SW380B | | Product dimensions | 35L x 27W x 44H centimetres | | Real angle of view | 30 Degrees | ## Product Details - **Brand:** swift - **Colour:** Blue - **Item weight:** 5 kg - **Light source type:** LED - **Magnification maximum:** 2500 x - **Material:** PLA_(Polylactic_Acid), PAI_(Polyamide_Imide), PE_(Polyethylene), Metal - **Model name:** SW380B - **Product dimensions:** 35L x 27W x 44H centimetres - **Real angle of view:** 30 Degrees - **Voltage:** 110 Volts (AC) ## Images ![SWIFT SW380B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61he8WOBJ3L.jpg) ![SWIFT SW380B - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f1WHRse+L.jpg) ![SWIFT SW380B - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LheNCQXaS.jpg) ![SWIFT SW380B - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZJUhwysTL.jpg) ![SWIFT SW380B - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DFyYCPEVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can any images be transferred to a pc?** A: Dear customer, Thank you for your interest for our produkt.

As for the camera, it takes digital cameras, such as EP2 or EP3, or EP5, etc. For higher speed and better clarity, it takes SWIFTCAM digital cameras, such as SC300, SC500, or SC1003. You can have a look at those cameras: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07P7V7N72/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07P5R1SLB/ref=emc_b_5_t Can you ballpark the sizes of the parasites? Normally, the above camera can better meet your demand. QA me anytime if you have more questions. Best regards, **Q: If i buy sw380b, which swift universal cell phone adapter mount to buy - diameter 26 or 28?** A: Hi Dr Simsim, For SW380B, you can use diameter 28 (D28), as D28 is for binocular use, and SW380B is a binocular ( b in SW380B stands for binocular).

What a hunk of junk. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Microscope *by Q***C on 12 August 2022* Science is a hobby for me, and this microscope is just the thing for looking at all things natural. I usually wear glasses, but the eyepiece adjustment is enough that I don't need them to see the subject. At lower magnifications the subject is extremely sharp, but the higher the mag, the less sharp it gets, but still able to recognise cells/parasites etc. The adjustment RL/Up Down are very smooth, however the main focus was a bit jerky to start with, and needed a few turns to loosen it up a bit. Now it's perfect, and the micro adjustment is too. It has an inbuilt light with a power lead. Ideal bit of kit for me. ## Frequently Bought Together - SWIFT SW380B 40X-2500X Magnification, Siedentopf Head, Research-Grade Binocular Compound Lab Microscope with Wide-Field 10X and 25X Eyepieces, Mechanical Stage, Ultra-Precise Focusing - AmScope BS-50P-100S-22 Pre-Cleaned Blank Ground Edge Glass Microscope Slides and 100pc Pre-Cleaned Square Glass Cover Slips Coverslips - Swift 5.0 Megapixel Digital Camera for Microscopes, Eyepiece Mount, USB 2.0 Connection, Color Photography and Video, Windows and Mac Compatible --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/224098472-swift-sw380b](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/224098472-swift-sw380b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
