The InstaScope Controller allows you to control the InstaScope Real-Time Air Quality Testing Instrument Controller. Our first Apple App Store Release includes several upgrades and requested features including: - New Photo Roll Integration: Save, edit, and upload pictures from the photo roll from the app. - New Contacts Integration: Add customer information from the iOS contacts. Push customer data to field technicians with CRM software that connects to iOS. Instant Microscope. No Lab Required. Sample, Analyze, and Report On Site Capture a sample, put it under light, optically characterize it, and report the results. This is the process every microscopist in every lab follows and now with InstaScope that process is available to you directly. InstaScope is an optical spectrometer that counts and characterizes bioaerosols on a particle-by-particle basis. This means that the inspector can leverage the power of a microscope without the time and cost associated with sending samples out to the lab.
