Could be that it is locked to the USB ids of the microscopes sold by the same company. Seems to be a nice piece of software, could not get it to work though. Not really intended to be used with microscopes, but works nicely with the Andonstar.

The software is really intended for the USB microscopes sold by Plugable, but can be downloaded by anyone.Д¬omes bundled with all Macs. ItвЂ™s basic, but gets the job done.В You can adjust parameters such as contrast, hue, saturation, brightness, save images, movies and configurableВ time lapse imagesВ to disk etc вЂ“ pretty nice. This has been the app I have used most during recent months.

It does feel kind of dated though, last update was in 2010ДЇree trial version, ca USD 18 for a license, Digital Viewer Used this app to begin with, donвЂ™t quite remember what OS X version I had at the time, reported to work on 10.10В though. I am sure there are more and maybe better options вЂ“ feel free to add them in the comments. Right now the list of OS X apps looks like below. If a USB webcam is used, the images could be fed into a computer too вЂ“ very nice. I need to 3D print an adapter to make a regular digital camera fit the tube, but once thatвЂ™s done, it should be possible to take some reallyВ nice pictures there. LED lighting, mounting rails for the work bench вЂ“ and one of them has a photo tube. These areВ extremely nice вЂ“ intended for medical research, electronics production etc вЂ“ they have extremely good optics and mechanical construction. On a related note, during the fall I got a few (an auction lot that contained a bunch ofВ units.) Leica stereo microscopes ( M60 and MZ6). Over the past year I haveВ tried some video software, and still have a few on the try-these-out-list. but this is in part due to the lack of good OS X software for use with generic USB microscopes. To be honest it hasnвЂ™t been used much (it did come in handy during the repair of the BK Precision LCR meter though). The microscope is actually pretty nice given its ca USD 60 price point, with decent picture quality, a sturdy stand (even though itвЂ™s somewhat of a pain adjusting it) and a built-in adjustable light source. Got myself an Andonstar 2 megapixel USB microscope about a year ago, mainly just for testing it out, and having it readily available when someВ repair project demanded it.
