Low latency, high frame rate
Up to 120 fps. Stabilization, HDR and other processing that add delay are off by default, and the app shows you the measured frame rate and delay.
Your iPhone is already a bench microscope.
BenchScope shows a live, magnified view with as little delay as possible — up to 120 fps — so your hands and the screen stay in sync.

Most magnifier apps lag half a second behind your hands. That's fine for reading labels, and useless when you're holding a hot iron.
Features
Manual control
Pick the lens, zoom without losing sharpness, tap to focus or lock it, set ISO, shutter and white balance by hand.
Made for the bench
Rotate and mirror the image to match your hands, lock the screen orientation, add crosshair, circle or grid guides, and use the flash as a work light.
Freeze and save
Freeze the image and pinch into it to check for bridges. Save photos and video to your library.
Real work
