XCamLab Wireless Microscopy Teaching System

Product Introduction

XCamLab is designed for interactive classroom teaching, microscopy laboratory lessons and laboratory/computer-room device management. It serves physics, chemistry and biology lessons, microscopy laboratories and multimedia computer rooms in primary and secondary schools, vocational institutions and universities.

Product Features

  • Real-time capture, annotation and synchronized distribution of microscopy experiment images
  • Screen broadcasting, screen blanking and remote power control for classroom management
  • Real-time exchange of text, files and images between teachers and students
  • Image calibration and measurement for recording and analyzing experimental data
  • Networked operation with computers, tablets, microscopy cameras and student terminals
  • Student attendance, assignment distribution and collection of student work

Hardware Platform Overview

This hardware platform is designed to run the XCamLab interactive microscopy software for wireless-network-based teaching. It has three parts: teacher-side configuration, network architecture and student-side configuration.

Hardware Platform Overview

Student Configuration

Student Terminals

Student terminals can use AIOCAMW all-in-one systems, tablets connected to Type-C cameras, or Windows desktop computers. Mobile devices can also scan the QR code provided by the teacher to join the browser classroom.

AIOCAMW

AIOCAMW

AIOCAMW integrates Windows and a Sony-sensor camera, reducing occupied space and simplifying laboratory deployment.

Hardware Platform

Wireless Network Configuration

The wireless network uses a Wi-Fi 6 router architecture. A tiered selection approach balances deployment cost and system stability according to the number of connected terminals and concurrent bandwidth requirements, with the following three configurations defined by performance specifications.

Standard Configuration

Up to 30 terminals

This simple, low-cost setup supports basic microscopic image transmission and interactive teaching for small classes. Limited concurrency may cause bottlenecks with multiple simultaneous high-bitrate streams.

High-Performance Configuration

Up to 50 terminals

With stronger concurrent access and data throughput, this setup supports medium to large classrooms and stable transmission of high-quality microscopy images across multiple terminals.

AC + AP Enterprise-Grade Networking Configuration

More than 50 terminals or multiple classrooms

Uses an access controller and distributed access points for multi-classroom or high-density wireless deployment.

Software Features

Camera Control

Camera Control
  • Supports all ToupTek-developed microscopy cameras across interface types, including UCAM and CXCAM.
  • Provides measurement tools for quantitative microscopy analysis and experimental data acquisition.
  • Includes thresholding, filtering, levels, histogram, gamma adjustment and color-model image processing.
  • Combines in-focus regions from a Z-axis image sequence to produce an extended-depth-of-field image.
  • Works with ToupTek motorized stages for automated inspection capture and wide-field image stitching.
  • Supports customer-trained AI models for object detection and segmentation tasks such as cell counting and defect inspection.

Software Features

Laboratory

Laboratory interface supports laboratories switching and status statistics. Real-time statistics of online and offline devices are displayed to help teachers grasp the status of student terminals quickly.

Software Features

Chat Room

Teachers can switch between group chats and individual conversations. Messages support text, images, emoticons and screenshots. Group files sharing is also supported, all students can download and view uploaded files, making it easy for teachers to distribute experimental learning materials uniformly. The online list shows broadcasting and raised-hand status.

Software Features

Assignments

Assignment management supports creation and distribution, progress tracking, viewing student submissions and batch review.

Publish Assignments

Publish Assignments

Teachers can create and publish a new assignment and complete its core settings in one interface.

Assignment Details and Review

Assignment Details and Review

Open an assignment card to review its full details and the submission status of each student.

Software Features

Quick Operation Tools

Quick Toolbar

Quick Toolbar

The quick toolbar integrates frequently used classroom control and interaction tools, giving teachers one-click access to core teaching operations without switching screens and improving classroom management efficiency.

Broadcast

Broadcast

Broadcast the teacher’s screen or live microscopy-camera image to student terminals in real time.

Scan to Join

Scan to Join

Teachers can generate a classroom-specific QR code with one click. After joining the classroom LAN, students scan it on a tablet or phone to open the browser classroom and sign in with their student number and password.

File Distribution

File Distribution

Teachers can select a target class and distribute courseware, experiment guides and specimen files to all its student terminals in one batch. Students receive and save the files directly. This function is available only for Windows all-in-one student terminals.
