After I found your video about swift 150. I got swift 150 on german amazon two weeks ago for 61 eur (64 dollars). I am super happy. I just wanted to try microscopy. Bottom wheel useless. 25x eyepiece is worse than 10x. But using 10x eyepiece image is very clear. I never used a microscope before and It was super easy from the start. I could not believe I got that good quality microscope for that price. Thanks for the video.
I have a stereo microscope equivalent to the one in the video (20x - 40x) and a compound microscope equivalent to the Stellar 1-T. I use the stereo microscope far more often than the compound microscope. In addition to hobby use you will find many practical uses for it. I have never used the compound microscope above 400x and ended up replacing the 100x oil objective with a 20x objective which I find much more useful.
This is a very informative video and the way in which you are explaining things clearly shows your experience and dedication. Very well done sir! If possible I would like to see a video about staining and colouring specimens. Also with some information about side-effect as I understand there might be possible health-issues using some of these materials. Thanks and regards from the Netherlands.
I would also suggest Amscope, they're quite affordable, and you can get parts for them. I have an Amscope microscope where I bought an extra 60x objective to replace the 100x immersion one. They were easy to contact and get information from, although in a bit of a chinlish. It's worth considering if you want to be able to replace some of the more exposed parts, for example if you rotated a non-immersive objective into the immersion fluid and ruined it. The microscope I bought was around 250 EUR, it's a binocular microscope with 4 objectives, condenser and mechanical stage. It also has filter holder for doing darkfield and such. Very good value.
Hi Oliver my question is what are some necessary stain and chemical in microscopy I think u should make a vedio on this hope u response Thanks Happy microb hunting
wait .. you've been teaching biology for 23 years ? ! ? ! then you must have started teaching when you were 13 years old because you don't look a day over 36
I spend 70 dollars on a microscope instead of 40 because of you. I probably won't regret it. I hope it's ok that I bought a child's microscope even though I don't have a child.
Never trust an microscope seller......... In der Entwicklung der heutigen Mikroskopie wird immer mehr Wert auf die technische Ausstattung gelegt und damit auch viel Geld verdient anstatt dass man sich auf die Perfektionierung der Praeparationstechnik konzentriert und seine eigene Beobachtungfaehigkeit verbessert
This and amscope 150c have the same price tag and im not sure which one to buy.. im reading alot of people that says at 1000x magnification the swift one struggle but i havent seen a review that says that on amscope
They are collector's items and should be taken care of very well. Put them into a museum etc. Regular use might damage them. Same as with old cars. I would not drive to work with them.

Hi, your channel is fascinating! I subscribed. If you have an opportunity, what do you think of the Diple microscope? Thank you.

Make a video like this but shorter. 3min or so. I bet you will get more views
Could you please give me your opinion on vintage microscopes. Thank you for your excellent and informative videos.
