Plug-and-play UVC
Wired models appear as a standard webcam with no extra drivers. Plug in, pick the camera, choose a folder and press F4.
One app instead of a bundle
Live view, capture, calibration, measurement and reporting all in one free application, instead of a CD-era utility.
Free essentials
The everyday workflow (connect, view, capture, calibrate, measure, export PNG) is free.
Limitations & expectations
- Wi-Fi-only Skybasic models are not UVC and are not covered.
- Camera controls (exposure, white balance) depend on the driver.
Frequently asked questions
Will my Skybasic microscope work?
Skybasic wired models with a PC camera mode enumerate as standard UVC devices (GENERAL-UVC), so live view, capture, calibration and measurement work. We tested the wired 50–1000× and wired 2K models. Wi-Fi-only models are not UVC and are not covered.
Do the capture buttons work?
The snapshot button usually works; behavior varies by unit. Configurable keyboard shortcuts always work.
Is this the official Skybasic software?
No. G-Scope Desktop is an independent free application that supports Skybasic's UVC devices. It is not affiliated with Skybasic.
G-Scope Desktop is an independent application, not affiliated with the brand of your microscope.
