Microscope, Digital Coin Microscope 1000x with Lights, EDM4, 4.3''

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!

This microscope works like a charm! It can be used for any items you want a closer look. The clarity is great & has adjustments that make it ideal. Easy to set up & use in a few minutes. It also can be connected to your computer to have a larger screen. We haven't needed to use the computer yet because it works great. It's also fun for kids to look at items under a microscope. We are completely happy with this microscope.

Works well. easy to use right out of the box. Works perfect. Has sharp clear 4.3 inch color screen , takes pictures and videos. I think it is a very good deal. I paid $33.I purchased it on Amazon. It came right away the same day. screen is Clear and bright and easy to use a fun tool/toy for sure ,it is cool. It came well packaged and unbroken. I would highly recommend this microscope for a beginner scope only because I want a more powerful one the next step up . they are so awesome I want another one ,the more powerful one ,same company although ,I would definitely buy it again . it would make a great present . There is another world its a small world , and now I can see it yippie! also the more expensive ones are a lot more expensive but they have three lenses versus the one lens like I purchased. if I had to describe this product in one word it would be "FUN" it's also functional I can see the condition of my finger nails and skin. That has an adjustable light wheel with lots of light and the focus is easy and smooth to turn Producing a sharp clear picture. I really like the ability to scroll through the pictures that I have taken in this microscopic world. it charges up nicely and the battery last a long time which is rechargeable I am old school where I have used microscopes that you put your eyeball up to that lens eyepiece most of the time unable to see anything. This is so modern and easy to use amazing!

I think this is a decent product for what it is, but don’t expect a high-end microscope. I wasn’t looking for professional-grade quality, so I’m not disappointed, but I do think buyers should be realistic. It’s frustrating when people expect $1,000 performance from a product that costs around $30–$50. You’re not paying for premium equipment here, and that’s okay, just be realistic about your expectations! I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son, who’s currently into coin collecting. He didn’t specifically ask for a microscope, but I thought it might be something he’d enjoy. For the price (under $50), I was actually pleasantly surprised. I opened it early to test it out and make sure everything worked before gifting it, just in case I needed to return it. The assembly was simple, and I tested it using a penny. The zoom/focus works well, and the screen is surprisingly crisp for this price range. That said, there are a couple of drawbacks. First, the stand is a bit wobbly. The microscope camera is lightweight, but the plastic base is even lighter, which makes the whole setup top-heavy. Even small actions, like adjusting the zoom, pressing buttons, or repositioning a coin, can cause it to shake. For some users, that might be annoying. Personally, I don’t think my son will mind it, and I'm sure he’ll figure out how to work around it. Another minor issue is the height of the stand. It's fairly short, so you can’t get the entire coin in the field of view, even with a small coin like a dime. You only see a cropped portion unless you reposition the coin multiple times. However, the included manual suggests a workaround: turn the camera facing the other way and place the stand on top of a book (or stack of books) to raise the overall height - it includes pictures in the booklet showing you how to do this. This allows you to view the entire coin in one frame and then fine-tune the focus for detail. Overall, it’s a solid beginner microscope for casual use, especially for kids or hobbyists. Just manage your expectations and understand what you're getting for the price.

I love this little microscope. great magnification for jewelry and coins that I have used it with.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I’m that impressed with a $40 micro scope. Amazingly clear images and makes spotting coin errors much easier.

Great product for the price ! It’s light weight and portable. I’m using it to grade old Pennies. The great thing is the the scope and light detaches so you can take it outside if you want to observe plants or bugs -even if you have a splinter !! I would go as far as being able to write on a piece of rice with this thing - the amplification is pretty good ! Two thumbs up !

This little scope helps you get a good look at small things without taking up your whole desk. Rechargeable and easy to use. Good for coins ,stamps, etc. and all small stuff.

Lo abbiamo da un anno funziona molto bene. Abbiamo già osservato tantissime cose ed è sempre molto istruttivo

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.

Excelente calidad

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

I recently purchased the Elikliv LCD Digital Coin Microscope (EDM4), and it has exceeded my expectations in many ways. As a coin collector, I needed a reliable tool to inspect the finer details of my collection, and this microscope delivered. Design and Build Quality The 4.3-inch LCD screen is bright and clear, making it easy to see the details of coins without straining my eyes. The build feels sturdy for its price point, and the adjustable stand is a great feature for getting the right angle and focus. Performance The magnification goes up to 1000x, which is more than enough for my needs. I was able to inspect mint marks, imperfections, and other intricate details on coins effortlessly. The image quality is sharp, especially when the 8 adjustable LED lights are properly positioned. These lights are a game-changer for ensuring consistent illumination, even in low-light conditions. Ease of Use Setting up the microscope was straightforward. It’s plug-and-play for both my Windows laptop and my MacBook, which was a pleasant surprise. I could easily switch between viewing on the LCD screen and using the PC view to save images or share details with fellow collectors. Versatility While I bought it primarily for coin inspection, I’ve found it useful for other hobbies like examining stamps and small electronic components. The adjustable magnification and ability to save images on my computer make it versatile for various tasks. A Few Minor Downsides The only thing I wish was improved is the height adjustment mechanism, which can be a bit stiff at times. Also, while the screen size is sufficient, a slightly larger display would have been a nice touch. Conclusion Overall, the Elikliv EDM4 is an excellent tool for hobbyists and professionals alike. It combines affordability, functionality, and ease of use into one compact package. If you're a coin collector or someone who works with small objects regularly, I highly recommend this microscope. It’s a solid investment for the price!
