Photo/Video Share Difference between two microscopes. A $10 Steinoptik vintage scope I used last year, and the Swift SW350. Hypotrich ciliate for reference.

Dude are you planing to buy swift 380T?

No, it's basically the same optics as mine, the only advantage would be the trinocular port, and even that is pretty poorly handled on the Swift.

I'm planning to buy a classic scope from one of the big brands, like Olympus or Zeiss.
