Compatibility list
Compatible Microscopes
G-Scope supports USB UVC microscopes and compatible Wi-Fi cameras. USB cameras need a data cable; Wi-Fi cameras connect through a supported network protocol. The protocol families below apply to desktop and Android. The model table records specific desktop hardware tests and expected UVC compatibility; it does not imply every model has been tested over Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi microscopes on desktop and Android
Connect compatible Wi-Fi microscopes to G-Scope on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android for live view, photo capture, calibration and measurement.
Microscope protocol families
Dino-Lite / WF20
MJPEG video and JPEG snapshots through the Wi-Fi bridge.
Jieli / TopScope / Toproview
CTP control with JPEG or H.264 video.
JoyHonest
JPEG or H.264 video, depending on the device profile.
i4season / Suear
JPEG video over UDP.
Legacy Molink
JPEG video over TCP using the supported legacy protocol.
Standard network camera protocols
ONVIF
Camera media profiles with supported RTSP video streams.
RTSP
H.264 or JPEG video over RTP/TCP.
HTTP MJPEG
Multipart MJPEG or JPEG image streams.
On supported Dino-Lite models, Wi-Fi also provides LED control, MicroTouch capture and automatic calibration when the camera supplies valid magnification and calibration data. Other cameras can use manual calibration.
Support depends on the camera's protocol and firmware. These families do not mean every model or rebadged device has been physically tested. H.265, authenticated RTSP/ONVIF, HTTPS streams, proprietary ToupTek Wi-Fi and newer Molink obfuscation are not supported.
Connect a Wi-Fi microscope
Join the microscope's Wi-Fi network in your computer or Android device's network settings, then open G-Scope and select the Wi-Fi camera. Wi-Fi microscopes do not require a USB cable or OTG adapter.
On desktop, enable Include Wi-Fi cameras and use Refresh Cameras to check supported microscope families. For RTSP, HTTP MJPEG or ONVIF, open Settings → Network cameras → Add connection and save the exact stream URL or ONVIF device-service URL. These standard endpoints are configured individually; they are not discovered by scanning your network.

Smart G-Scope: First-class support: reference implementation with device SDK integration, automatic magnification and physical scale, click-to-focus and EDOF.
Dino-Lite: Generic UVC video everywhere; optional SDK adapter adds MicroTouch capture, LED control and automatic magnification/field of view when the model and driver expose them.
Jiusion: Standard webcam chipset family; snapshot button behavior varies by unit.
Plugable: Clean UVC baseline device: good first test for format enumeration, MJPEG vs uncompressed and reconnection behavior.
TOMLOV: LCD/HDMI/USB models expose a lower-resolution PC preview; PC resolution can be more limited than the internal recording resolution.
Toproview: The DM023A has been verified over USB on Windows, including its touch capture button. G-Scope also supports the Jieli / TopScope / Toproview Wi-Fi protocol family; this hardware test covers USB only.
Andonstar: Some HDMI-first models do not expose a live UVC feed; the app shows a clear message for devices without a camera stream.
Bysameyee: Webcam-chipset family with fragmented bundled software; snapshot and zoom buttons behave differently between applications.
HAYEAR: C-mount cameras for stereo/compound/industrial optics; high-resolution streams stress bandwidth, decoding and rendering.
AmScope: MD-series eyepiece cameras are UVC; other AmScope camera families may require individual verification.
Celestron: USB-C handheld and eyepiece-imager formats; useful for schools and family science.
Carson: The zOrb MM-500 live-view, capture, calibration and measurement workflow has been verified on real hardware. Physical shutter-button behavior depends on what the device exposes to third-party applications.
OMAX: Explicitly UVC-compatible eyepiece cameras; some AmScope and OMAX models share chipsets.
Skybasic: Wired models expose a standard UVC stream the system lists as GENERAL-UVC. Wi-Fi models require a supported network protocol and are not included in these USB hardware tests.
Elikliv: Wired models with an explicit PC camera mode enumerate as UVC; models that only offer mass-storage mode are not covered.
INSMA: Same webcam-chipset family as other budget wired microscopes; snapshot button behavior varies by unit.
Unbranded / generic UVC: Many cheap “brands” are the same webcam chipsets under different shells. Connect and the app shows the exact device name, VID/PID and formats.
Many cheap “brands” are the same webcam chipsets in different shells. If you do not see your model, connect it: the app shows the exact device name, USB vendor/product ID and available formats.
