Most software has no possibility to do that. I also wanted to measure structures on my photographs. Also I did want to record the magnification factor (i.e. There is a lot of software to assist you with that, but I wanted the software to save the picture (or movie) without asking me questions about file-names. I think most people will have some more work to do to connect their web cam to the microscope. My microscope is trinocular and the adapter can be connected very easy on top of the microscope with one screw (see picture). This way no dust can reach the CCD (I use a Philips ToUCam, because that web cam has a real CCD). I removed the lens of the ToUCam webcam, fitted an adapter on it and in front of the adapter came a IR-UV blocking filter. Many users worldwide already use the previous versions of MICAM, so I think many brands of camera's can be used.

Micam is a program that uses a webcam or dedicated USB Camera like the Tucsen series or other brands or a DSLR like the already mentioned Canon EOS. Now (January 2016) I can present the combined version: MICAM 2.0 As my spare time is limited I thought of a method of combining MICAM and DIGAM. The problem for me was that I now had to maintain two programs, so if I came up with a new feature I had to implement it twice. The method is so simple, that I think it is applicable to other cameras as well. This resulted in DIGAM.ĭIGAM uses a simple method to grab an image from the camera. As MICAM was only suitable for USB camera's that use Direct Show to present a live view image to the user, I had to think of a different method to use my Canon camera. In 2013 I bought a Canon EOS 600D and fitted that on my microscope. As many programs that were available at low cost were not able to do what I wanted I wrote the program MICAM to assist me with taking photographs. In 2007 I bought a microscope and started with microphotography using my microscope and a web cam.
