Frequently asked questions

Which OMAX cameras are supported?

A35-series UVC eyepiece cameras are tested and work; we verified the A3513S (1.3MP) and A3550S-MK2 (5MP). OMAX also sells USB 3.0 C-mount cameras, which are not yet on the tested list.

Do AmScope and OMAX cameras behave the same?

Some models share chipsets and therefore behave identically. The compatibility notes record what we actually observe per model.

Is this the official OMAX software?

No. G-Scope Desktop is an independent application, not affiliated with OMAX.
