Since our microscopes use a standard webcam chipset, they will automatically install default webcam (UVC) drivers when plugged in to a host device. They can be used with any webcam app, including the ones built-in to most operating systems.
Some features of our microscopes aren’t available in some webcam applications. We designed our USB microscope software package, Plugable Digital Viewer, specifically for use with our microscopes. This enables features such as resolution switching, video processing amplifier control, and the capture button to be utilized.
This app turns your phone to a great simulated microscope. Features: - Interchangeable oculars (x5, x10 and x20) - Focusing - LED Flashlight - Macro camera Common use for microscope: - Little animals observation (fly, spider, cockroach, worm, bee, beetle, ant.) - Medicine bottles and prescription - Serial numbers from back of device (TV’s, DVD, etc.) Use your smartphone as a handy. I had a security cam app that connected this way. So when the app couldn’t find the scope, I figured this was the issue. Sure enough, once in WiFi settings, there was a private network available, connected to it and the app connected to the scope immediately. Now, the problem. The pictures/images seen on the phone screen are barely discernible.

In the Camera app, you may need to select the ‘Switch Camera’ button next to the red ‘Capture’ button. Some Chrome machines with built-in cameras may need to have the device pointer changed. This can be done by going to Settings > Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Camera, and change the device in the dropdown to “USB Microscope”.
