ECHO Pro vs MicroSNAP

Join the revolution in microscopy imaging with the ECHO Pro app for your ECHO microscope, including the Revolve and Rebel hybrid microscopes. The ECHO Pro app brings the functionality, accessibility, and familiarity of an iPad interface to a publication-quality research microscope. BRIGHTFIELD IMAGING: Easily adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance of your sample with on-screen controls to produce the perfect view of your sample. Navigate your sample quickly with a full field of view, or pinch to zoom to fine tune your focus. Ensure blur-free images with the industry’s first Anti-Shake feature, and when you are ready, simply capture the image. EPI-FLUORESCENCE IMAGING (Revolve microscope only): Capturing publication-quality fluorescence images has never been easier or faster. Select an LED fluorescence channel with the touch of a button. Quickly adjust gain, exposure, light, and levels and capture to 16-bit quantitative TIFF or pseudo-color JPEG. Easily create a multi-channel fluorescence overlay in seconds. INTEGRATED PHOTO BROWSER: Familiar photo browser makes managing images simple. INTEGRATED CLOUD SHARING: Share all of your images instantly using Dropbox, AirDrop, or USB. PHOTO ANNOTATION: Once you have captured a picture, tap to count cells, measure length and area, write labels, draw arrows, or add a scalebar. IMAGE INFO: Never forget your settings. All image settings are automatically saved and easily accessible. Change the way you view science. Discover more at www.discover-echo.com. Designed for the iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro 12.9”.

MicroSNAP is a mobile app specifically developed for use with the EXC-100 WiFi-enabled microscopes (required) 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 (purchased separately), 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 light 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. To connect to the microscope, launch the MicroSNAP app, press the [-] button and use the camera on your phone or tablet to scan the QR code on the microscope. Alternatively, you can 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. IMPORTANT: Always unplug the microscope when not in use.
