MicroSNAP

MicroSNAP is a mobile app specifically developed for use with the EXC-100 WiFi-enabled microscopes from ACCU-SCOPE Inc. MicroSNAP allows the user to use their mobile device to view live images, capture images, or capture video from the EXC-100 WiFi-enabled microscopes (the mobile device connects to the built-in WiFi camera of the microscope via IEEE 802.11ac signal). MicroSNAP offers a selection of measurement tools and, after calibrating the camera using the app and a stage micrometer, accurate measurements of features in the sample image can be made.

MicroSNAP and EXC-100 WiFi-enabled microscopes only allow one mobile device connection at a time. When multiple people want to use the same microscope, please disconnect from the camera’s WiFi signal before the next user can operate the camera.

Using MicroSNAP is a “snap”! Plug-in the microscope – the camera gets its power directly from the microscope. Turn the microscope on by rotating the light intensity control knob – you will hear a click and then see light coming up from the bottom of the microscope. Open the WiFi settings on your mobile device and choose the “MicroSNAP-xxx” network. You may see a message about no internet connection – this is OK as your mobile device is connected to the WiFi camera and not the internet. Next, tap the MicroSNAP icon on your mobile device and you are ready to start using the camera. Even if someone wants to view the sample using the eyepieces of the microscope, you will still see what they see on your mobile device.
