User questions & answers

Question:	What are some tricks to getting the 25x to focus and be as sharp at the 10x eyepieces? Can you only use the 25x for the 100x with oil
Answer:	It really isn’t that useful to use the 25x ocular lenses, the 10x work fine, but using the 25 x reduces the field of view so much that unless you are looking at something and need a small area magnified I suggest you don’t need them. You can use it with the 100x but it won’t work well because it goes above the reducing power of the lens. Pretty much 100 x 10 is the top end of good resolution.
Question:	Ex i want question about sending date,,if you want sending this microscope to all over the united state,s for us,,how much it long time aboutly
Answer:	I don't think it took more than a week to arrive
Question:	Does this have a top light? That lights up things from the top not just from below
Answer:	Actually I don't think it does have a top light. All of the magnification is up on top and the light is in the base. There are other items you can buy to attach to this scope however like an external viewer for example or to take photographs or a slide. It is a really great scope....as good as the ones I used in college!
Question:	Is this microscope strong enough to identify and differentiate between species of mold
Answer:	This is a pretty inexpensive microscope and the optics, while offering up to 2000 x magnification, are not great. Considering Galileo used optics he made himself I would say if you employ ingenuity and creativity you will be able to differentiate mold species. I've seen some amazing things with my microscope. The 2000 magnification uses the oil immersion technique for clarity.

The Swift SW350B is a workhorse of a compound binocular microscope, providing incredibly sharp magnification and ergonomic usability.

Features a Siedentopf binocular head that rotates 360 degrees for easy shared use and allows for quick adjustments to the eyepieces for different interpupillary distances without losing focus. The swiveling head can also lock 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 interchangeable widefield 10X and 25X glass ocular eyepieces, which pair 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. Coarse and fine focusing dials on both sides of the metal arm make fluid and exact precision adjustments.

For specimen viewing, an LED bulb beneath the stage transmits light up through an industry-standard Abbe condenser with 1.25 aperture and an 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. An 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 SW350B has a compact but solid body that is nonetheless easily portable with the built-in arm handle.

What can you see with it? Compound microscopes offer detailed, cellular-level views of transparent or dyed specimens prepared and mounted on a slide. (For magnifying solid objects, use a stereo microscope.)

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used the 2000x magnification? How clear is the image
Answer:	Not great to be honest, a little fuzzy and dim when used with wet prep slides or oil immersion. It's as good as can be expected from a microscope of this price range though.
Question:	is this microscope good for looking at soil organisms? im looking for flagelletes protozao microbes...if anyone know the answer to this please tell
Answer:	It's perfectly fine. Just suspend some soil in water, put on a coverslip, and you are in business. It's no different from any other microscope--and its optics are surprisingly good. Besides flagellates, you will find a variety of other organisms, eggs of various species, fungi, ciliates, amebas and more.
Question:	Is it suitable for examining coins
Answer:	No. This microscope is for object you can shine light THROUGH. You would need a stereoscope for coins.
Question:	What is the purpose and/or advantage of the Double Layer Mechanical Stage

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this microscope made
Answer:	This is a standard LOM and has no polarization. So, it is limited for producing micrographs. The CCD camera it comes with may not be sufficient to obtain the resolution you need. I bought a separate high resolution camera that fit the trinocular. Preparing the sample with finer grits and polish is required to get your mirror finish to expose the crystalin structure. You may find it handy to slip a piece of paper under an edge of the sample so the plane is slightly skewed for height differentiation. For real metallurgy, you need a TEM or SEM. But this scope this will allow you to see the crystal structures. I also bought side view lighting on goosenecks with an XYZ stage to get the best angular light options for photography.
Question:	Why does only 1 of the eyepieces (left one) have dioptric adjustment? Seems strange that both of the eyepieces do not have that
Answer:	You would have to get a cable that connects to your phone. The cable that comes with the OMAX has a USB connector on it opposite the micro-USB that connects to the camera. If you have a Micro-USB with either an Apple Lightning connector or one of the android connectors, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Question:	v o 220v
Answer:	Dear customer, Yes, this microscope should be capable to see things which is 1-8 micrometer long. Best regards, OMAX
Question:	What does it mean that this is a Siedentopf microscope? I have used several microscopes, but am not familiar with that term

Question:	What is the link for the online manual
Answer:	I don't know where it is made. No claim on the scope itself. Their website claims "Our products are manufactured under strict ISO 9001 quality control standards, and are made by the same technicians, on similar production lines, that make optical instruments for Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, and Olympus." The B120B I have is a very good scope for the price. I use it for brewing and water quality purposes. Recommended.
Question:	Is the 3MP camera worth $100 over the 1.3MP camera model CS-MD82? I want to show slides on the computer and maybe take still shots for school reports
Answer:	I borrowed the answer: Diopter Adjustment: When you look through a microscope with two eyepiece lenses, you must be able to change the focus on one eyepiece to compensate for the difference in vision between your two eyes. The diopter adjustment does this. Microscope Glossary of Terms - Microscope World https://www.microscopeworld.com/t-glossary.aspx

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it use a graticule in the optic for measuring
Answer:	If you're asking if it has one, no it doesn't. For the price, though, this microscope is outstanding. I am a veterinarian and use mine all the time and love it.
Question:	What size rubber eye guards fit this microscope
Answer:	These would be the best fitting eyecups http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FG8B474.
Question:	What's included in the package
Answer:	Off the top of my head, mine came with the following:A pair of 10x and 20x optical lens each.4x, 10, 40x, and 100x objectivesProtective plastic cover (not a hard shell case - more like a bag)At least 3 colored diaphragm filters (blue, green, yellow)A small tube of oil (I'm not sure if it's lube or immersion oil)And I forgot about the spare light bulb
Question:	Is it possible to connect this device to a computer? if so I’d appreciate an explanation
Answer:	As far as I can tell it is possible but expensive as you need a camera mounting fixture above eyepiece, a USB camera that mounts to the above fixture and the PC software. I currently use the scope By itself now but would like a camera in the future. Good luck.

Question:	Dose it work on 220v
Answer:	I've captured, viewed and saved slides on my laptop. They were all good quality. The supplied computer software application allows for addition adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc.) once the slide is viewed on the computer.
Question:	Will the photo software work for Windows
Answer:	Dear customer, can you please contact us directly through the Amazon email system? We would provide you with the sample images taken by this microscope. The camera on this microscope is built-in and it is not changeable.
Question:	What does the ad mean by "mechanical stage"? Does it mean th stage moves to facilitate measuring
Answer:	Hi Alicia: It is difficult to answer your question without knowing your intellectual and experience level. So I will provide an answer that I would give to a college student who at least attempted to perform a dark field observation. The answer is yes if you convert three objects in the condenser (the conversion can be done fairly easily with a light stop, mirror, and an appropriate cone point lens ... during use, the later will usually contain emersion oil (water or other fluid) in the concave cave cavity under the slide to seal the connection (special slides are needed with the appropriate refractive index and cleaned to perfection). This microscope can be converted to perform dark field observations with a good kit. Although I never received a manual or parts list with this microscope, it does appears to have two (light stop and mirror) of the three components. Thus, a moderate conversion could be done, but dark field observations can be very difficult requiring excellent skills and techniques along with a good dark field microscope that would cost 10 to 20 times what you are paying for this scope. I never tried to convert this scope as it was a gift for my grandchild in high school ... so 'm not sure how well the conversion kit works. However, some folks never cease to amaze me ... so go for it! ( My college room mate used metal washers etc. to rig an old scope for this purpose). If you look carefully at all of the pictures on Amazon for accessories to this scope you can see the mirror and light stop. I wish I could show you pictures on this reply, but they are not possible with this format.. You should be able to perform some dark field observations with the conversion, but don't expect the impossible. Remember that you must reverse the conversion back each time for regular viewiing. This microscope is very inexpensive yet still as good as you will find in most college freshman classes. It even has an excellent iris aperture and focal point adjustment on the condenser ... very helpful if you are viewing in any mode. P.S. A professor told me that dark fields were like seeing dust particles illuminated by sun shining through a dark room...that was so helpful to me and also reminded me that I first observed that in my grandma's house! This was some how very comforting to me when getting stressed out in the lab. If you need more help to do this, I can be contacted at [email protected]. Good Luck! Okieprof
