Swift M3-B Reviews

Great scope for the field

By River Otter

Rated 4 out of 5

We use this microscope to examine aquatic organisms in the field. This is a sturdy, well built, field ready scope that works well in both the macro and micro realm. We wish the light was brighter and that it could be operated in top lit, bottom lit or both in all configurations

Excellent for field research and study!

This is an excellent microscope for anyone interested in bringing microscopy to the field. The body is solid and rather heavy, but gives a quality feel. The adjustment wheels do not have any slack, and it is flexible enough in use for you to cheat a little - you can use the stereoscope and microscope modes with lighting from underneath or from above. The light really is excellent and the rechargeable battery has enough juice when freshly charged to last for many long days in the field without weakening noteceably. It mounts on an ordinary tripod. My only regret is that it is not able to magnify 1000X, so such things as identification of fungi based on the shapes of spores are difficult. If you are looking for an easy-to-use microscope and primarily want to use it at home, this is not your best option. That being said I am happy with the trade-offs between portability and ease of use. This is an excellent product.
