Android close-up inspection
A purpose-built Camera2 workspace for inspecting electronics, print, surfaces, components and other close subjects with multi-frame detail reconstruction.
Designed for inspection
Live focus tools, stable capture and review controls are kept within reach while the subject remains the center of attention.
Combines aligned frames and safely falls back to the sharpest reference when motion is unreliable.
Use focus peaking, grid, ruler calibration, exposure control and optional DNG evidence.
Captured images remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to share them.
Real magnification comparison
Captured directly from the app on a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra while a real PCB was under the camera. A hardware-backed 10× optical step is available only when the phone exposes a compatible telephoto camera through Camera2. Other phones may fall back to a different lens. The 20× step enlarges the available optical capture digitally and should not be mistaken for added optical resolution.
Field guide
The controls follow the same sequence as a practical visual inspection: frame, stabilize, enhance, verify and save.
The overview control temporarily opens the field of view so the real board can be centered before returning to inspection magnification.
After the target is centered, the live 10× view exposes package markings, board traces and nearby surface-mount components without substituting a stock or generated image.
The effects panel stays over the live PCB so you can compare the original view with anti-glare, clarity, silkscreen, negative and edge modes before capture.
Freeze or capture the selected view, then save it to the Android media library for local review and deliberate sharing.
Important limits
Results depend on the phone camera, lens, support, lighting and subject motion. Measurements require user calibration and should not replace certified metrology or safety equipment.
