Digital Classroom

A WLAN-enabled Olympus EP50 camera is capable of creating its own wireless network or it can be integrated into LAN networks using its USB-to-Ethernet adaptor, providing flexible classroom configuration options:

  • Through a WLAN connection, students can control the camera using the EPview software and observe and present digital images from their microscopes
  • Teachers and students can directly access live microscope images, making the classroom a truly interactive space
  • Through a LAN network with a router and using the EPview app software, entire classrooms can view a camera’s images on their mobile devices or WLAN-enabled PCs/laptops

PC/Laptop-Powered Learning

PC/Laptop-Powered Learning

Users with WLAN-enabled PCs and laptops with Windows operating systems can download and install the free EPview software.

The EPview software for PCs/laptops offers the same camera-control and functionalities as EPview for mobile devices, including viewing, capturing, processing, saving, and sharing the acquired images and movies.

Share Images on Monitors or Projectors

Use the HDMI port to connect the camera to monitors and projectors to display and share live or previously captured images. Sharing 60 fps Full-HD live images or videos can transform the microscopy classroom from an individual experience into an engaging group activity. Simultaneous output through both WLAN connection and HDMI is available.

Stand-Alone Mode

Stand-Alone Mode

With only a monitor and a USB mouse, users can control the EP50 camera using its On-Screen Display (OSD) software.

This setup has several advantages:

 

  • Easy-to-use user interface for classroom learning
  • No PC required, reducing equipment costs and space requirements in a classroom
  • Increased flexibility as less bench space is needed
  • Students can observe the live image, record images on an SD card, or measure images with variety of annotations
