This application is for wireless microscope "AirMicro" and also "ProScope Mobile".
It can display and preserve a picture captured with "AirMicro" and "ProScope Mobile" as well. 
Please use them for skin-check and education,etc. 


Made by Scalar Corporation, the original inventors of handheld microscopy, the AirMicro App and AirMicroPad App are made for the Scalar AirMicro and Bodelin ProScope Mobile, the first wireless handheld microscopes made specifically for the Apple iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The AirMicro App allows the AirMicro/ProScope Mobile hardware to view live video and capture still images directly into the photo library on your Apple Mobile device. Combined with the hardware the AirMicro creates it's own WiFi network so it can be used on as many as 253 Apple Mobile Devices simultaneously. The image fills the screen and resolution can be adjusted from QVGA to VGA. Simple to use yet robust for an entire classroom, clinic or CSI team to use in the field, AirMicro and ProScope Mobile have set a new level for true mobile scientific discovery. The AirMicro Handheld Microscope is sold and distributed exclusively in Japan and Asia by Scalar Corporation http://www.scalar.co.jp/ The ProScope Mobile is sold and distributed exclusively in North America by US partner Bodelin Technologies http://www.bodelin.com/proscopehr/proscope_mobile/

### 1/5 — Stopped working since update

*2020-12-08*

Stopped working since update.

### 1/5 — Says connecting for a million hours

*2020-11-14*

I downloaded it, and would ya know? 
It says connecting and then a loading sign! 
I look at the time. 10:15. I wait some more. I look at the time. 10:21!
It still doesn’t let me in! 
Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Not connecting in latest iOS update

*2013-02-06*

The latest iOS update seems to have broken the app with my ProScope Mobile not able to connect!

### 5/5 — Great app and device

*2013-01-07*

I think the negative review was written by someone who either does not realize that you need the proscope or is a complete (or maybe just 92%) idiot. 
It is a fascinating app and device.

### 1/5 — ???????

*2012-11-27*

Worst app
Loads 24hr

### 5/5 — Thanks for the measurement

*2012-10-24*

We've been using this in two labs since we bought our ProScope Mobile. When they came out with it, we begged them to give us an optional measurement tool in the app and they did!! Solid and no hiccups between versions of IOS. Thanks for making our suggestion work.

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2012-08-25*

Every time I try to sync the microscope it never comes up. I have the scopes for classroom use but they're useless if the app never syncs to the iPad.

### 1/5 — Washed out blue colors

*2012-01-19*

This Proscope makes everyone look washed out and blue.  We have a ton of USB Proscopes that are very accurate and clear, but this one is garbage.

Having it returned ASAP!

### 5/5 — Fun and Cool

*2010-08-11*

After installing this App and the iPhone version on an iPhone, we spent a few hours exploring fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, fabric around the house, the hair of the dogs and the elaborate patterns of folded steel on a Bob Kramer chef's knife. It took about thirty seconds to set up and it works great.
