USB Digital Microscope Software For Mac OSX

Some manufacturers provide Apple specific software for their scopes. But often Digital USB microscope hardware DOES NOT come with any MacOS specific software to control zoom functions or capture still snapshots, time-sequence or full motion video clips with.
However, because these are USB Video Class - UVC compatible microscopes, they should provide BASIC functionality on any modern Macintosh running MacOS Mojave or Sierra, OSX ElCapitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion or Leopard when attached to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port.
Basic operation can be as simple as launching Apple's PhotoBooth, QuickTime or other OSX video capture app. Then make sure the external scope is selected in the software's CAMERA SOURCE Preferences... menu. You may have other MacOS still photo and video grabbing software you prefer to use for still image, time-lapse or video clip capture.
Here's a link to Digital Viewer App - OSX 10.5+ compatible general purpose Mac microscope software from Plugable Technologies. It works with any UVC compatible webcam or scope and supports VGA up to 1080p and higher HD resolution depending on the camera's capabilities. It offers timed-shots, single-shots and movie capture modes.
There's Mac software for AmScope's various digital microscope product lines: AmScopeXLite, ProScope or ISCapture that you can download from the company's software page. There is also an 3rd-party app called ToupView is available for download here. It seems to be hardware manufacturer specific and likey polls the USB bus to ascertain if an AmScope brand USB camera device is attached to function.

Other Mac Digital USB Microscope Software Apps

Digital Pan and Zoom control over your scope's camera image might be something you need. You can download a free trial of iGlasses webcam control software app from eCamm or the affordable Mactaris Webcam app and see if it helps you achieve the zoom and magnification control you need to get the most out of your digital microscope or inspection scope. You may also need it for webcam image adjustment to control camera brightness, contrast, color saturation and other image enhancements.
All told, there's decent support for digital microscopy on Apple platforms. Some may even be usable on an iPad tablet or iPhone when paired with a USB camera connection kit dongle in your handheld device's 30-pin or Lightning dock connector.

Before you begin

1. Verify your computer meets the system requirements. Note that a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or newer is required for OpticStudio 16 and up.
2. Verify what release your license is eligible to run.

• Perpetual licenses: If you are still under a current support agreement, you can install any version available up to the current release, assuming that the version is compatible with your license type shown in in step 3 below. If your support agreement has expired, you must install a version of OpticStudio released before the support expiration date.
• Subscription licenses: If you have an expired subscription license, you need to purchase a new subscription to reactivate the license before it is valid to run Opticstudio.

3. Verify the OpticStudio release you want to use is compatible with your license type. Not all versions of OpticStudio / Zemax work with all license types.Please consult the chart below before installing. Note that single-user USB keys must be plugged into the machine that will run OpticStudio. Do not plug in the key until prompted by the installation process or after it is complete.

To locate your support expiration date, in OpticStudio navigate to Help...About. You may also check your purchase invoice or latest license activation or update email. If you are still unsure, email the Zemax Sales Team. Please include your license key serial number. If you have a Black USB key, it is the 5-digit number engraved on the key itself. For all other license types it is a 7-digit alpha-numeric number starting with 'L' (e.g. L000001 ), and is not engraved on the key.

4. Download the software. Now that you know which release is eligible and compatible with your license, you can acquire the software. Both the current and available previous versions of the software are available on the OpticStudio downloads page.

Tip: Backup the OpticStudio installation file in case you need to reinstall in the future. As per Zemax's Legacy Version support policy, Zemax offers download access to previous releases for 2 years. After that, they are phased out and no longer available.
