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

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.

I have done Astrophotography for many years using CMOS Cameras for my telescope for things Outta Space. I bought this CMOS Camera for my SS120 Microscope to look at things from Inner Space (as I call it). This is a Top Quality CMOS Microscope Camera. That is exceptional Value For Money with excellent Functionality and amazing picture quality. If you are good to excellent at CMOS Imaging, you'll love this. Same as, if you are a complete novice, you too will find this easy to use. 1: Install Software, pertaining to your O/S (WIN, iOS, Linux etc). 2: Insert CMOS Camera into your Microscope Tube ((Remove the standard x2 Tube (Barlow) first, you won't need it. You'll see why if you leave it in)). 3: Plug USB2.0 Lead into your device (works without additional power if using a USB Hub). 4: Run software 5: You'll see Centre Left all the camera perameters and at the top of this, you'll see your camera name. Just single click on camera name to see "LIVE" image. Enjoy You Inner Space :-) This CMOS Microscope Camera works amazingly well and I highly recommend you add this to your Microscope to see further detail and even videos of our Inner Space. My only single annoyance, is the supplied adapters if you intend on using the 2x Tube (Barlow). Whilst the adapters fit nicely onto the x2 Tube (Barlow), once you put your CMOS Camera in the top of the adapter, the adapter will quickly fall off. So, be prepared to catch it before you damage your Camera. Not a very nice thing to find out if you're unaware. I just looked and thought, "hmmm, not good". I have included three "screenshots" to show CMOS Camera and Software in use and also, a Video showing how cells move the closer you get, even when on a glass slide. Thank you for reading :)

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 ]

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.

Easy to use and it suits my purposes perfectly.

Good clear images, extensive computer software included with lots of options, had trouble calibrating measurements but that's probably inexperiance. Very happy with this. Downside no screw to lock on eyepiece so it can rotate due yo the cable being quite stiff which makes movment of slides tricky at times (counterintuative)

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

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

Muy fácil de instalar y de configurar. Trae un programa propio que te permite usar filtros y otras funciones. De cualquier forma el ordenador la reconoce como una cámara usb al conectarlo. Tiene un encuadre mas pequeño que el ocular, pero los colores son fidedignos. Puedes sacar fotos y vídeos, como pone en la descripción son 2 MP, así que tienes que usar la óptica del microscopio para los aumentos.

シンプルで非常に使いやすいです。ソフトウェアは Windows OS でも問題なく動作します。高価なオリンパス製のものを使用していたときよりも少し暗かったですが、この価格であればすでに非常に優れています。より高い MP を使用すると画質が大幅に変わるのでしょうか。

値段の割に付属ソフトが多機能で良し。 WindowsXPの古いPCでも動いた。 でも、視野がもう少し広いといいかな。あとソフトのマニュアルが英語と中国語しかない…

Das ganze Gerät ist Klasse es macht richtig Spaß damit diverse Objekte am Mac anzusehen. Die Bauweise ist verhältnismäßig groß und am Anfang durch das Aufsetzstück wirkt die Kamera sehr weit Oben und Instabile ist aber richtig fest. Es brauch wie bei vielen Dingen ein gewisses Einstellungs Niveau und Fingerspitzengefühl. Die mitgelieferte Software ist benutzerfreundlich.Ich würde sie Wider kaufen.

機能性能は良いのですが、付属のUSBから専用アプリケーションソフト(Swift Imaging 3.0)をインストールして、気になったことは、次の通りです。 windows 11 note PC では、途中で中国名での「私を信用しますか」で「YES」をクリックし、途中でウィルス対策ソフトから、保護ブロックされましたのちに一部削除？「安心して使用して下さ」のメッセージがあり、その後は画面の表示に従ってインストール完了しました。 Windows10(インターネット接続時)、7では前述の事象はなく、アンインストールも普通に可能ですが、Winn11ではアンインストール不可能です、現在も考慮する事項です。※現時点ではインターネット接続無しWin10PCで使用します ※プレパラート作製の良し悪しで見え方等変わりますが、顕微鏡の対物レンズは ×40 で凹ホールスライドガラス使用。添付の写真は脂肪球です。
