MicroCapture 1.3 Scale Error

Post by andrew204 »

I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of MicroCapture 1.3 software (for the USB Microscope), and the measurement scales seem to be significantly off. I line that is know is 100um wide measures as 17.3um (with 65x magnification). if I input the magnification as 1x, it reads 14.8um. Obviously the numbers are not scaling linearly, so I suspect there is something wrong.

the microscope camera we sell doesnt support the measuring function - its a higher end one with some calibration stuff. you can always just calibrate after the fact.
