ScopeControl
Imaging optical methods such as microscopes or telescopes often have a digital sensor in their image plane, allowing a live image to be generated and displayed directly. However, webcams or C-mount cameras also require 'lean' software that is limited to the essentials and yet offers a useful, scientifically oriented range of functions. ScopeControl offers exactly this and also allows to connect to our microscope and control its light intensity and exposure mode (Bright/Dark-Field).
SpecControl
For our 3D-printed spectrometer there is of course also the appropriate software to read out the spectrometer, to calibrate it or to operate it in different spectroscopy modes (intensity, transmission, absorption). For this purpose, the intensities spectrally separated at the optical grating are read out via the camera sensor and a spectrum is generated from this. Many other functions facilitate data acquisition and interpretation of the measurement data. SpecControl includes:
PowerCam
Anyone who needs a sensor to measure light output is looking for an optical power-meter. Devices with a freely positionable sensor head are quite expensive and make experiments on "Malus' Law", Fresnel's formulae or others, where a relative power measurement is absolutely sufficient, more difficult. For this purpose we developed 'PowerCam', where the webcam becomes a simple power meter!
