Elikliv Microscope, LCD Digital Coin Microscope 1000x, Coin Magnifier with 8 Adjustable LED Lights, PC View Compatible with Windows/MacBook, EDM4, 4.3 Inch

Good investment for coins, stamps, watch repair
This works great. I didn’t have any color problems like I saw a few report. The magnification is fine and the picture is clear. I did think the hack of putting it on a stack of books to see the whole project was smart and works well, especially for watches so you can see the whole work area and have room to put your hands. If this is for a child, it’s very easy to use and figure out.

So far, so good.
My scope just arrived late yesterday, so other than assembling it and turning it on for a few minutes to see if it worked, I haven’t had time to truly evaluate it. What I can say is it’s really quite amazing that technology has reached a point that a product like this could be delivered for the price I paid. Is what I see on the screen good enough for it to be useful to me? For now I’ll say yes, as I plan to use it on my workbench to do watch repair, so I don’t need something that can handle fast moving video scenes. The scope has the ability to show magnified views in three different resolutions: VGA (640), 720p and 1080p. Obviously, the screen isn’t very large, but it’s sufficient for my use, and the quality of the video picture is reasonably good, especially for the price! The view on screen doesn’t lack for enough light, as the scope has a ring of LEDs around the lens and they’re bright. There’s no shadows in the picture from misaligned lighting elements, and despite just about everything on the scope being made of plastic everything works as it’s supposed to. The entire setup is very light-weight, but it’s relatively stable in use. The base on mine had a minute amount of “side-to-side” rock to it, which I “took out” by setting the base at the edge of my bench and pressed down a bit on one of the corners, flexing the two pieces of plastic used to make the base. I believe this worked because the two plastic base pieces are most likely “snapped” together, not unlike how so many laptop PC cases snap together. The difference on this scope is there doesn’t seem to be any screws in the base at all, while laptops have a large number of screws. So how did flexing the base allow the scope to sit flat? Using a snap-together case with no screws to lock things in place, the two pieces of plastic can move a very small amount against each other when you put some stress on them, like what happened when I allowed one corner of the scope’s base to hang-off of my bench and then pushed down on it. The base probably went into the shipping box with a flat base, but by the time it arrived it must have gotten bumped and the base may have slipped a little, leaving the slight rock to it. Regardless, the base is now flat, the scope is stable and unless something changes with it, I expect to get a lot of use out of it on my workbench. Does it have the best magnified picture? I’m sure it doesn’t, but honestly, for the price these scopes are going for, I don’t think you can beat it. You can pay a lot more on some other scopes and you probably won’t get any better than what this little one does. If you want an inexpensive way to look at small things in a much bigger manner, give this Elikliv scope a try!

See up close!
Easy to use, works just as described. You can see details on coins so clearly! Perfect for coins, jewelry, or bugs, even! Anything you want to see up close is seeable here. The light works well to illuminate the item and gets rid of any shadows. Great value for the price!

Excellent Value and functionality
Im very impressed by the values for money. Great functionality and simple to use. Perfect for looking at coins. The manual is a little unclear about features and assembly, but after playing with it a but, it is easy to learn.

Kein Profigerät und richtig große, wissenschaftliche Vergrößerungswerte sind damit nicht zu machen …ob das wirklich 1000-fach vergrößert glaube ich nicht. Egal, für mich hat das Gerät sowieso andere Funktionen, die mir wichtig sind. Ich will sehr kleine Schrift auf Elektronik-Chips, auf Platinen, die Stanzung auf Nähmaschinennadeln und Werte auf Schmuck lesen können usw. Also eine sehr gute, beleuchtete Lupe mit einfacher Foto-Video-Funktion, war das was ich haben wollte, das habe ich mit diesem Gerät auch bekommen. Ich will keine Einzeller beobachten und habe das auch noch nicht probiert. Man kann die Objekte riesig auf dem PC betrachten oder direkt auf dem kleinen Bildschirm am Taschenmikroskop. Die Kamerasoftware von Win11 erkennt das Gerät direkt und man kann am PC Foto- und Videoaufnahmen machen oder aber auch stand-alone nur mit dem Mikroskop. Die Auflösung ist für meine Zwecke gut. Zudem ist ein Akku eingebaut, so kann man das Elikliv-Mikroskop schnurlos, überall nutzen. Die Fotos/Videos werden dann auf Speicherkarte gesichert. Ein Mikroskop nutzt in der Regel einen Objektträger und eine Beleuchtung von unten (Durchlicht), das ist für meine Verwendungen untauglich. Dieses Taschenmikroskop beleuchtet von oben (Auflicht), so dass man problemlos massive, lichtundurchlässige Objekte ausleuchten kann. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass Kinder damit gut für die Naturwissenschften begeistert werden können, bevor man in ein professionelleres Gerät investiert. Die Bedienung ist auch für Kinder leicht erlernbar und die Objekte sind leicht zu fokussieren. Für mich ist das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ebenfalls gut.

Great product for the price! Clear image and easy to use. Perfect for coin collectors.
