Review on 🔍 High-Resolution Coin Microscope: Elikliv 4.3" LCD Digital Microscope 1000x, USB Coin Microscope for Error Coins with Illumination, Ideal for Kids and Adults, PC Viewing, Compatible with Windows by Billy Braggs

Even with bifocals, my eyes aren't the same and the electronics I build and fix get smaller over time. I was happy to find a microscope that illuminates the subject without shadows and stays far enough away that I can reach the device with a soldering iron. Eight LEDs provide plenty of light, so I don't have to worry about my hands or tools casting shadows while I'm working. Mobile phone that will be phased out in three years. The frame it sits in is heavy enough to be stable, and the microscope's familiar depth settings make it easy to adjust elevation and focus. My objections that cost it a star relate to its use of the micro-B USB connector and the image resolution. This is an old-style cable that went out of fashion around 2014, and it can be hard to find a non-USB-C cable these days. Plugging it in to charge or surf on a computer (which I haven't tried) can be unnecessarily complicated in today's USB-C world. Image resolution is normal for handcraft, but when you use it you realize you are looking at a digital camera/screen blast. There is no illusion that this is an optical zoom with normally visible pixels; I am always aware that this is a high zoom digital camera. It comes with a small CD. CDs are hard to find in computers these days, and non-standard CDs won't work in the multitude of slots Macs have used for years. Given the CD, USB-B and resolution, I believe this is an older product, but the goal is so simple (making a small thing big) that it's still fine. I'm glad to have it on my desktop.
