GOKO EV-1 Digital is developed and manufactured by GOKO Imaging Devices Co., Ltd., an innovative Japanese manufacturer of optical imaging devices with a 70 year history, which holds the world's largest production volume of film compact cameras and global market share of 8mm cinema editors under its own brand and OEM supply. See our history.
Enjoy "in-focus" clear video images all the time, even while zooming in and out by moving the "magnification knob" side to side. You only need to focus once at the beginning. GOKO's own unique VFF (Variable Focus Free) Zoom system made this special feature possible.
Adjustable high-luminosity LEDs offer various and flexible effects in lighting.
It enables to detect damages on objects such as cracks or scratches much easier.
(1)From right and left - Easy to adjust the heights, slopes, and brightness.
(2)From below - Can turn on/off at your preference.
A fine optical system is essential to achieve good clarity and better image quality. GOKO has a proud history of more than 60 years as a Japanese manufacturer of optical finished products, and we place great emphasis on developing a fine optical system, not only on increasing number of pixels. Our own fine optical system realizes greater clarity and better quality.
EV-1D is the digital version of EV-1 (NTSC Version) that features a USB-output high-resolution digital camera unit. It is mounted on a strong and stable working stage, the same as that of EV-1 (NTSC version).
EV-1D is best suited for clicking digital pictures not only for visual inspection but also for use as documentary evidence, or in reports. It has a good reputation, especially amongst quality control departments (e.g., checks of defective parts), food inspectors (e.g., contaminant inspection), and the like, who use it to document their findings.

Unlike previous microscopes, the camera unit of EV-1D enables to provide long working distance, which provides large vertical working space. This feature is ideal for inspection by letting the object move, process, or rework.
The camera unit of EV-1D can be moved vertically; thus, it can inspect an object whose height is up to 45 mm.

Solid and stable working stage offers blurless observation.
Provides various image analysis functions and two-dimensional measurement functions. Greatly expands the applicability of clear images with GOKO's microscope.
Enable to release the shutter with your foot when shooting when taking still images. Prevents camera shake and improves the accuracy of the image.
Provides uniform brightness that is nearly shadowless and controlled by an attached “Light controller.”
Objects can be simply fixed on the table (using micro suction cups), and can be tilted up to 90 degrees for easy observation from the side.
GOKO's special glass calibration chart used for calibration when measuring 2D dimensions.
Angle-adjustable non-slip rubber stage, used to observe or take pictures of small object from every direction without touching it. (Sorry, sold out. Contact us for future production.)
"GOKO Macro Viewer" series are favorably used in various popular TV programs in Japan for education, analysis, and variety shows.
