Precise AI automation for biology.
Describe the experiment in plain words. SciCope’s AI turns it into steps you can read, runs them on your own microscope, and measures the result in micrometres and seconds.

How it works
From a sentence to a number you can publish
Say what you want
“Focus, scan a 3×3 grid, then photograph every 30 seconds for an hour.” The assistant knows your instruments and turns it into steps you can read.
The microscope runs it — exactly
Cameras, stages, lights and focus, driven from your Mac or PC in a closed loop. Every picture is saved with the settings it was taken with.
Measure and verify
Track and measure in micrometres and seconds. The app lists what it is unsure about, and you fix it with a click.
What SciCope does
The microscope, the experiment and the analysis in one app
An AI that runs the experiment
Plans you can read before they run. Moves wait for your Allow — or switch on hands-off mode for runs nobody watches.
AI and automationEvery instrument, one window
Andor, Thorlabs and USB cameras, Newport XPS, GRBL and Marlin stages, ZEISS microscopes, lights, a focus lens and phones.
InstrumentsReal units, every setting recorded
The pixel size found for you, per objective, and every picture carries exactly how it was taken.
MeasurementAnalysis that says where it’s unsure
Detect, track and measure — and a Check panel that lists every moment that needs a human, with the fix.

Your bench, your AI, your data
Nothing leaves your lab unless you ask
Runs on your computer
The engine that drives the hardware runs locally. One red STOP — or the Escape key — halts every move and every job.
Your own AI account
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or DeepSeek with your key, or the Claude Code and Codex apps. There is no SciCope account.
No SciCope cloud
Pictures stay in your folders. This website loads nothing from other servers and runs no analytics.
See it run before you plug anything in.
The demo microscope inside the app simulates a camera, a stage, a light and a focus lens on a worm plate. Autofocus, scans, tracking, programs, the assistant and the whole analysis work on it.
