I just ordered the SW380T on your and so many other recommendations. What would it take to use this in the camera port? Thank you and great web and videos.
Hi Microbe hunter, thanks for the video. Can I ask for your suggestion for ways to remove the wasted black space around the image of the microscope? I know that we can zoom in the image, but I would prefer to change the optical characteristics of the eyepiece to fill the whole sensor so that this area is not wasted. I suspect you would require a widefield, ultra-low eye relief eyepiece, but I don't know if these exist. Is there any thing you can recommend in terms of eyepieces to use the sensor space effectively?
Oliver, you mention that it would make sense to get a dedicated eyepiece for this. If I were to want to use this with my Trinocular mount on the 380T, would a WF10x 25mm eyepiece be superior to the more prevalent WF10x 18mm? Or do you have a suggestion for an even more appropriate eyepiece? Thank you for your help!
I tried 3 times to order one of the Swift adapters from both Amazon and eBay. Three times I was sent what seemed to be a child's microscope slide prep kit (shipped from Amazon "as a gift" which is the latest hustle). Swift had mislabeled the code on the boxes and apparently no person ever looks at the pictures or title on the box. I finally gave up. Still looking for a decent adapter, but have stopped dealing with Amazon because there were more returns than keepers and since nearly everything now ships from Amazon no matter where you order from, I guess I will never have one.
@@thesuburbanelectric Swift had apparently mislabeled the boxes on all of them. Just finally got my money back from eBay Friday after a struggle. Ordered a Gorsky but don't have it yet either!
If you let Amazon know that the boxes have the wrong code on them, they'll likely get it fixed. The workers at the warehouse either don't care or can't tell them apart, all they see is that the boxes match their code and that's that. Their returns side will inspect them for mismatches but it might take a while for them to set it up properly.
I'm new to microscopes, but I want to take video and photos of tardigrades. I plan on getting this adapter for my phone and the Swift 350T microscope, do you think it is a good choice to give a good image? I worry about maybe the LED not being bright enough or not being able to focus well.
The image does not depend on the adapter, but on the mobile phone (and microscope optics). Yes the image will be good enough and the LED will be bright. If you already have the microscope, then you can hold the phone in front of the eyepiece to see how the image looks like.
Dealing with Swift is a nightmare, asking for additional funds for postage via eBay then cancelling the order, refusing to send the product in the end. Don’t trust them, shame as it looks like it would do the job but much more expensive than the alternatives, crappy support and shameful business practice. I’m surprised you still recommend it Oliver.
Hi I recently purchased a Swift 380B( your reccomandation) and it has a D28, diameter of the eyepiece but my phone has a duel camera(iphone X) do you think this adapter would work?
You have to place the adapter right over the correct camera lens that you want to use. Once the adapter is connected, you can not switch back and fourth between the cameras. You have to choose the camera first, get it set up and then you can only use this camera. If you want to use the other camera, then you have to readjust the adapter. Something that does not work is to have both cameras look through the eyepiece at the same time and that you can then select the camera. The camera you want to use has to be centered exactly and then the other camera is not used. Try both cameras which one gives the best result.
Hey, so can we magnify on these microscopes manually & physically instead of using digital zoom? I wanted to get the SW200DL without the 1.3 MP they offer and instead use my iPhone 11 as the 12MP
What are all those black specks that are showing when you connect the camera to the microscope? Is that debris on the slide or the eye piece or something else? If so, how do you avoid it?
Hey ! I’m looking to get these for use with my iPhone 13 pro max and swift sw380T. Can someone please tell me if this will be able to be used on the trinocular eye piece ?
Thank you for helping to revive a hobby I had over 40 years ago Oliver! Question for you about getting a dedicated eyepiece for this device, to save me some experimentation time and money. I'm planning to buy a trinocular scope with both 10x and 25x eyepieces. Given that the camera has zoom, for the best experience when using it while also viewing through the other tubes, do you recommend sticking with low magnification (10x), or matching the photo tube with what I'm currently using in the other tubes? Is it workable to mix, for example using 10x with the camera while using 25x in the other tubes?
Of course you can mix and use 25x for the camera. Often the camera and the eyepieces do not show the same field of view anyway and for focusing one should then use the camera anyway to get the best image quality. But I think that lining up the camera with a high magnifying eyepiece is more difficult. Try it out. Some high magnifying Eyepieces have a small eye relief and therefore it is not possible to move the camera very close (adapter won't allow it). So much depends on the individual eyepiece.
I bought one to use on my Leitz orthoplan and my iphone SE. Alas, it does not work. I can only use 1 Volt. If using more, I only see a very bright white blob. And it seems that I cannot get the camera close enough to the eyepiece (I have the eyepiece pushed in all the way down the adapter).
Try to hold the camera in front of the eyepiece without the adapter and then change the distance. It depends on your eyepiece, but sometimes you have to hold the camera further away from the eyepiece (if the eyepiece has a long eye relief). Put your left hand around the eyepiece and rest the phone on your hand for support.
can anyone suggest to me some good applications or the easiest way to capture a whole thin section image using mobile under the microscope ... kindly help me complete the process, this whole section image is essential for my study purpose...
Thank you for this video - followed your adaptation for the slightly smaller eyepiece and it works beautifully - thank you.
I just ordered the SW380T on your and so many other recommendations. What would it take to use this in the camera port? Thank you and great web and videos.
Ever figure this out?
You have one lens on your phone which makes a big difference. With three lenses on the one phone, the lens won’t sit flush.
Cool add on. Now if I only had a microscope... : )
How can one use this for a Trinocular eye tube? Any extra lense required? This will help undisturbed operation on the main (2) Eyepeices.

I have an Omax trinocular microscope..Will this fit into a trinocular lens?
Hooray, this works so well! Thank you!
Hi, thank you for the useful review. Does it work for iphone xs max which has a dual camera?

Thanks for this. Can you tell me what diameter is the eye piece for the swift stellar 1B as I am thinking of getting one.

Swift sells these through eBay as well.

@@MicrobehunterMicroscopy Fantastic, that's great. Thanks so much!
Hello sir
Can I use this adapter on an inverted microscope that’s use in IVF , ICSI microscope??
can this be used with 11 into 5 cm phones that is lesser length & breadth non android
does any adapter available other than I phone !! for other companies , if yes pls share a link to buy

The swift sw380b eyepiece seems too thick for this adapter when I try to fit it. Any idea if I'm doing something wrong?
Just bought this through your affiliate. Thanks for all the help in learning microscopy.
Does it fit a 18mm eyepiece, does it work on swift SW380T

But does your microscope have that much resolution?
how much does this adapter costs?

I think he said that the slide is dirty
Can you use one of these for higher power microscopes? Im looking for something to attach to the Nikon Confocal

Review a light microscope
(Arm is tiltable and has a mirror) :)
Can this be mounted on the trinocular port?
If you first put an eyepiece into the port, then of course.
can anyone suggest to me some good applications or the easiest way to capture a whole thin section image using mobile under the microscope ... kindly help me complete the process, this whole section image is essential for my study purpose...
If u have tripod position ur phone and focus the microscope and take the picture
Will this work for fluorescence
See no reason why not. Emitted light is in the visual spectrum and can therefore be picked up by a mobile phone camera.
what make is it?
Swift
great 👍👍👍
Too bad it won't fit a 30.5mm microscope. Any one have recommendation.
Anyone use this with a Galaxy S22 Ultra?
D
Stop the inhaling so loud hahaa
