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

I've been using this for over a year now. Its still as great as the day I bought it. I use this to look at coins, for collecting. It zooms in to get all the details of the coin. The light is bright, makes the image clear and easy to see. The charge last a long time. This product is very easy to use. The size is perfect, and the product is well made. It even looks fancy on my desk. This would be of great use and educational purposes, for home schooled kids. Great value for the money!

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.

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!

Clear, precise, sharp images of the coins I was examining. Could even take sharp pictures.

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!

Works really well. You have to adjust it via the... I'm sorry I don't know what its called... the twisty thing above the lenses to focus it just like on a camera. It stays charged for a long time, but I don't use it super often either. I didn't even know it could hold a charge and didn't have to stay plugged in all the time so I'll say that's a bonus. The quality isn't the best, sort of like watching 90's TV, but it works and shows what it needs to show. I now know that some coins have words and numbers on the sides so that was fun to learn. My daughter loves looking through this, aswell. Doesn't just work on coins, it'll zoom in dark near everything as long as it isn't microscopic. It doesn't view things that small.

I use this to evaluate my edges when sharpening my knives. It’s a great way to make sure that you fully removed the burr and to learn about the effects on the edge that different grit waterstones impart. Obviously, it’s not a high-end lab grade microscope, but it is great for my needs. The picture is clear, and the focus adjustment is very sensitive. One small con is that, though it has adjustable brightness, the angle of the light cannot be adjusted. So, If you want more light in a specific area and/or the ability to adjust the angle of light, a Glocusent clip-on book light is dirt cheap, very high quality, works great.
