SWIFT EC5R 5MP Microscope Digital Eyepiece Camera, High-Speed Live Display, Color Photo and Video, Back-Illuminated Sensor, USB 2.0, Windows & Mac OS Compatible

Produces a good image. Easy to set up and focus.

Initially I thought that I would need lots of megapixels to capture great videos, but 5mp are more than enough In fact, the more research I did suggests that anything above 10mp actually reduces quality. Just noticed at the end the pictures had a hair on the lens, that's not a crack :P I filmed the samples on a SWIFT SW380T microscope If I had any negatives to say, that would be 3 One is the aspect ratio as it is a square Second, it would be that it zooms in a bit, so you actually see more directly than what the camera is showing And lastly, the focal length, as you adjust the camera up and down, I just wasn't able to match the ocular one, so if I want to adjust both digital and look through the microscope myself, I need to slightly adjust the focus... could be fixed with a bit more patience But I recommend 100% and am giving it 5 stars enough

I really can't understand all the gushing reviews about this camera. I find it pretty terrible, the image is fair, but not great, but the coverage is what is terrible, with a 40 times objective and a 10 times eye piece, i.e. 400 magnification and using a 0.01mm Stage Micrometer Microscope Camera Calibration Slide , I saw through the eye piece 57 divisions or 0.57mm, but on the computer screen I saw only 15 divisions 0.15mm, or only 26% of the view through the eye piece, This was using the Swift software that came with it, but the same just using the computers camera program. Some may think you are getting a greater magnification, you are not, if you had the full view you could always digitally zoom in which would be the same resolution, unfortunately I cannot return under the 30 days , as the microscope I bought it to go with was damaged and was returned and by the time I got a replacement and discovered this downside, the time was up. but beware! you won't be able to share the whole experience with others with this camera.

This camera is above my expectations, esp. for the price. I bought this for histology/pathology work (entry level) and study at home. The slides I used are a human histology set from ebay (spleen, thymus, blood smear 40x, gastric mucosa 4x, 10x, 40x). Please keep in mind that all pics included were taken at the day of arrival - my first attempts. Also, my experience in digital microscopy is humble, esp. my knowledge of the graphic settings. You may get better results. Installing software and preparing camera for work from the box to the first photo took 3 minutes. The software came on a metal flashdisc. Work with this camera is very easy and intuitive. This camera comes with a software which allows certain adjustments (basic level of sharpness, brightness, white balance etc., measurements, histogram... please side panel with functions on the last photo), which some of the industrial cameras don't have. It has a "Dark field correction" and "Flat field correction" - not tried yet. Please keep in mind that I am not a specialist so the technical data below may be incomplete: - videos (mp4 (H264), mp4 (H265), avi, wmv ) -> video included. - pics in .bmp . Brigtfield pics included with (Motic plan UC objectives in 3 magnifications: 4x, 10x, 40x). Dark field, phase contrast or polarisation filter not tried yet. The camera comes with 2 adapters. It was possible to fit the camera (through the adapter which was included) to the Motic photo adapter (No. 1101001901931). The video speed in my opinion is great (however I read that the video speed is dependent more on the graphic card of your PC rather than the camera). I would happily recommend this camera to e.g. pathology, histology, botanic students or home office.

This microscope camera works great once the USB stick software has been installed. The adapter tubes were not required for my 'vintage' metallurgical microscope. However, the camera software may start with a blank screen unless you take the camera back out of the eye tube so it can register the change in light. The focal point of the camera does not quite match the regular eye piece and the image size on screen is smaller than the view down the eye piece but that may be a squarer image imposed into the regular round view.

Shame but the quality of the image is just not good enough. The lease fit nicely into the microscope but the image quality is poor. Claims to be 5Mp but doesnt look like that. Software is terrible! Design is like something from the 80s. Freezes - and crashes constantly. [Used on a Mac ]

Buying this item as allowed me to view these microbs on my computer, easing the fatique of my eyes, an aid worth the money and easy to use, once the usb has been attached easy to load and then use.

Not a good item.Software difficult/problematic for both Windows and IOS Image quality using resident camera app software falls short.Disappointing and tiresome waste of time trying to analyse why the software would not function in either operating system
