MicVision by CJ-Optik captures image/video via CJ-Optik Phone-Imaging-Port for diagnostic and surgical microscopes for technical and medical applications. MicVision standardises video and image documentation workflows in combination with any microscope. It leverages on the advances of the mobile phone imaging technology to capture high clarity of the image/video by optimised camera settings including fine controlling of illumination and focus. With MicVision and the smartphone sharing capability, the captured image/video can be shared onto popular social media like Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and etc, and also possible to be sent through email, together with patient information.
