Frequently asked questions

Will my INSMA microscope work?

INSMA wired microscopes use a standard webcam chipset and install as UVC devices, so live view, capture, calibration and measurement work. We tested the wired 40–1000× model.

Do the capture buttons work?

The snapshot button usually works; behavior varies by unit. Configurable keyboard shortcuts always work.

Is this the official INSMA software?

No. G-Scope Desktop is an independent free application that supports INSMA's UVC devices. It is not affiliated with INSMA.

G-Scope Desktop is an independent application, not affiliated with the brand of your microscope.
