Not sure where to ask, so I figured /p/ could help. It's about microphotpgraphy and microscopy, so I'm hoping it's on topic enough.
Any opinions on the Swift SW380B? I plan to get one with a 5 megapixel camera that goes in the eyepiece slot, and using it connected to my laptop or phone. I've used college lab microscopes for a couple years when I got my associate's degree, and I just want something for hobbyist use at home. I have no idea what brands I used in college, but I know this one has an abbe condenser. A camera that hooks to the phone/computer would make it cool too, never had that before.
Of course I'll be getting emission oil, dyes, and some accessories separately. I thought about getting the tripod version as well so a camera can hook in without interfering with the binoculars, but it's like an extra 100 bucks that doesn't seem like a huge change in convenience.
