SWIFT SW380B Research-Grade Binocular Compound Lab Microscope

The Swift SW380B is our most streamlined binocular compound microscope yet, boasting design elements that make it powerful enough for laboratory use while remaining user-friendly as a teaching tool in high school, university, and clinical settings. Serious hobbyists will also find much to love with this microscope's adaptability features, such as swappable oculars and objectives.

The four achromatic objective lenses comply with DIN standards and reach the semi-plan field level, effectively improving imaging clarity. The 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, and the ocular tubes are tilted at an ergonomic 30 degrees to reduce neck and eye strain.

The SW380B 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 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. Users can manually move the condenser closer to or farther from the stage to adjust brightness and evenness of light, as well as image contrast. The sizeable double-layered mechanical stage features a metal slide holder that locks specimens into place for viewing, and 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.

The microscope is easy to move, with a built-in handle that fits securely against the palm. The power supply is built directly into the microscope base, and the kit comes with a power cord, blue filter, immersion oil, and dust cover.
