SciCope turns a phone into a remote microscope camera
SciCope connects a phone mounted on a microscope to a Mac or Windows computer, then uses Fiji, Python, and a plain-language assistant to analyse the resulting images.
Field notes
SciCope divides the workflow across a phone mounted at the microscope, a desktop controller, and an analysis assistant. The phone can be reached locally or through a 9-digit ID, while session folders move through the user’s own Google Drive. Its analysis interface is described as a form with up to eight plain-language settings, producing tables, outlined images, and per-photo details; Fiji and Python remain visible behind the generated tool.
