USB Digital Microscope Software For Mac OSX
Some manufacturers provide Apple specific software for their scopes. But often Digital USB microscope hardware DOES NOT come with any MacOS specific software to control zoom functions or capture still snapshots, time-sequence or full motion video clips with.
However, because these are USB Video Class - UVC compatible microscopes, they should provide BASIC functionality on any modern Macintosh running MacOS Mojave or Sierra, OSX ElCapitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion or Leopard when attached to a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port.
Basic operation can be as simple as launching Apple's PhotoBooth, QuickTime or other OSX video capture app. Then make sure the external scope is selected in the software's CAMERA SOURCE Preferences... menu. You may have other MacOS still photo and video grabbing software you prefer to use for still image, time-lapse or video clip capture.
Here's a link to Digital Viewer App - OSX 10.5+ compatible general purpose Mac microscope software from Plugable Technologies. It works with any UVC compatible webcam or scope and supports VGA up to 1080p and higher HD resolution depending on the camera's capabilities. It offers timed-shots, single-shots and movie capture modes.
There's Mac software for AmScope's various digital microscope product lines: AmScopeXLite, ProScope or ISCapture that you can download from the company's software page. There is also an 3rd-party app called ToupView is available for download here. It seems to be hardware manufacturer specific and likey polls the USB bus to ascertain if an AmScope brand USB camera device is attached to function.
