AccuView

Features
Read full description

AccuView (v2.0) is a mobile app specifically developed for use with the ACCU-CAM WiFi cameras from ACCU-SCOPE Inc. and UNITRON Ltd. AccuView allows the user to use their mobile device to view live images, capture images, or capture video from the ACCU-CAM WiFi camera (the mobile device connects to the camera via 5G IEEE 802.11ac signal). AccuView also permits camera control with functions such as image, exposure, contrast, saturation, and gain adjustments. AccuView offers a selection of measurement tools and, after calibrating the camera using the app and a stage micrometer, accurate measurements of features in the sample image can be made. ACCU-CAM WiFi cameras attach easily to any manufacturer's microscope with an appropriate c-mount camera adapter (0.35x is recommended) or eyetube adapter. With the AccuView app, these cameras can accept several simultaneous connections from mobile devices (we recommend no more than 3 simultaneous device connections), making them ideal in training and instructional environments – each student can view from their own device! Due to limitations in available WiFi bands, we recommend operating no more than 3 cameras simultaneously within the same classroom or laboratory – your results may vary. For more detailed information about the AccuView app for mobile devices and the AccuView app for PC, please visit our Support page https://accu-scope.com/support/instruction-manuals, and scroll down to Manuals – Current Cameras.
