Characterize your microscope objective lenses, see how well matched they are to your microscope's image acquisition system. The App supports both transmitted light objectives and fluorescence objectives. Input the magnification, immersion medium (air, oil, glycerol or silicone oil), NA (numerical aperture), condenser NA and wavelength of light (lambda), to calculate the lateral resolution, axial resolution and brightness of the objective. Characterize your acquisition system (camera pixel size, camera binning and additional magnification) to check if you're sampling at Nyquist frequency. Each of your objectives can be saved and easily restored, and shared with other microscopists via e-mail, MMS, Linked-In or even Facebook. The equations used for the calculations can be displayed. The sources of equations are referenced in the "Information" section. * Theoretical Resolution is calculated according Ernst Abbe's famous equation (Abbe 1873) * Actual Resolution is calculated according to ‘The Rayleigh Criterion’ * Axial Resolution of fluorescence objectives is calculated according to Inoue's chapter in Jim Pawley's “Handbook of Biological Confocal Microscopy” (3rd edition 2006) * Camera pixel size can be loaded from the list of cameras, if your camera is not in the list, you can enter it manually. * Select the "share" feature to share all output to e-mail, MMS or Linked-In * It doesn't matter if your microscope was made by Zeiss, Evos, Leica, Olympus, Nikon, Motic, or Meiji Techno, the principles are identical and you will find the app useful. * The list of cameras in the Camera dialog includes those made by Andor, Hamamatsu, Photometrics, PCO, QImaging, Leica, Lumenera, Olympus, Nikon, Motic and Zeiss.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Microscope Resolution at 100% against Campus Labs® Event Check's 43%. Microscope Resolution also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Campus Labs® Event Check's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.8 vs 3.7). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Campus Labs® Event Check is free to download; Microscope Resolution costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Campus Labs® Event Check holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Campus Labs® Event Check has 1.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Campus Labs® Event Check's written reviews are positive against 100% of Microscope Resolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Campus Labs® Event Check ships an update monthly, Microscope Resolution every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
