Swift 5.0 Megapixel Digital Camera for Microscopes, Eyepiece Mount, USB 2.0 Connection, Color Photography and Video, Windows and Mac Compatible

Like to see objects on laptop.

Works out of the box on Windows 10 with Swift Stereo Zoom microscope. It would cost a lot more for a better setup. It has excellent resolution and accurate color reproduction. My only quibble is that it magnifies, so there is less field of view, and I have to add a reduction lens to the objective. Overall, it works fine for a hobbyist like me.

.... Autofocus? On a microscope camera?No... Really?! Frustrated.Okay the picture is pretty nice when it does focus, and looks like about a 25X magnification but it's a rectangular picture with sides of it cut off to make it fit the screen. But this also means you lose a lot of real estate on the optical field. That's not great. After working with this thing a few times over the last couple of months I regret that I did not return it immediately. I will probably continue to use it for some things but I'm finding that I get better results by holding my camera up to the eyepiece. I guess I should have forked over the $300 for the good one.

This camera works well for basic microscopy imaging. The included software (Swift view, which is repackaged ImageView software) is easy to operate and has many useful features in it. You can control exposure and other camera settings, allowing more control over the captured image than previous ocular cameras I've owned. The small size makes this easy to add to a microscope setup without adding bulk to the system. As the CMOS chip is placed close to where the ocular lens is focused, the microscope remains fairly parfocal when you change lenses - a big improvement over my old ocular lens where the camera is positioned well behind that focal point, meaning that changing lenses also required significant refocusing of the camera. For the price, this is a great camera.

I'll be honest this camera didn't exactly knock my socks off with its quality- but between the asking price and the fact that this is such a unique sort of camera I think all is fair.Would buy again, but would also do research first to make sure no better, similarly priced options have come out since my original purchase of this.
