This software lets QX3/QX3+, QX5, and MiScope microscope users capture snapshots and time-lapse videos of their surroundings.
miXscope works with a wide range of devices, including the QX3/QX3+ and QX5 USB microscopes, the MiScope handheld microscope, and even external cameras like the Dino-Lite series, ProScope and ProScope HR microscopes, and DV cameras. Plus, it's compatible with any microscope or camera that has a QuickTime video driver.
Some of the key features of miXscope include the ability to capture images and videos in PNG, TIFF, or JPG formats, with real-time frame averaging and the option to import images into iPhoto. You can also create time-lapse or stop-motion movies, with an onion-skin option for the latter.
There are several built-in special effects available to use, and you can even write your own special effects or image processing algorithms using the plug-in support. Annotation options include adding a time stamp or one or two text comments to your images or videos.
You can also add image or logo overlays with control over opacity, position, and size. Live drawing lets you draw ovals, rectangles, or freehand on your images, and measurement tools let you measure angles, lengths, and areas with scale calibration.
miXscope also includes a session manager to capture your current settings and restore previous sessions. Other features include digital zoom, full-screen mode, the ability to flip images vertically or horizontally, the option to take snapshots using the command-line tool, and native compatibility with Intel and PowerPC Macs.
If you purchase the miXscope QuickTime License, you'll gain access to all QuickTime input video devices, including the Dino-Lite series, external and built-in iSight cameras, ProScope and ProScope HR microscopes, and DV cameras. The miXscope Multi-device License includes access to all supported microscopes and cameras.
