The EyeClops BioniCam Video Microscope from JAKKS Pacific opens up a world of microscopic fun for kids to explore. This bionic eye makes it easy to take digital pictures and capture video that documents new discoveries. Designed to keep inquisitive children aged eight and up entertained and interested in the world around them, the BioniCam is also engaging enough to captive adults.  | What We Think
Fun Factor: 
Durability: 
(what this means)
The Good: Look at familiar objects in a whole new way; review images on a TV or computer

In a Nutshell: Unique video microscope provides creepy close-ups and informal science lessons | At a Glance Ages: 8 and older
Requires: 5 AA batteries; TV and/or computer for full effect

A belt clip battery pack makes it easy to take the BioniCam anywhere. View larger. | 
Even old blue jeans look cool viewed through the BioniCam. View Larger. | Magnify Your World,
To get started, simply insert five AA batteries (not included) into the belt clip battery pack, insert the included USB memory stick into the top of the BioniCam, and turn the unit on. With the camera's ergonomically shaped handle in one hand, you can focus on any number of everyday objects--such as coins, fabric, your pet's fur, or your own hair and skin. The magnified images appear in real time and full color on the LCD screen. Below the screen, you'll find easy to use buttons that allow you to navigate the menu, select video or photo options, review your gallery, and delete unwanted images. A zoom dial offers either 100x, 200x or 400x magnification. To focus an image, twist the I.R.I.S. lens attachment until you achieve the results you're looking for. Getting a crisp image takes a little patience at first, especially at the highest magnification. But with practice and with the help of the easy-to-read focusing gauge, you'll be focusing the lens in no time. Photos and Video Without Complicated Setup
With no software to upload and minimal set-up, the BioniCam makes sharing discoveries easy. Plug the USB memory stick directly into your computer for quick access to images, then save and edit them or post them to your blog. Alternately, you can use the included video cable to display images on your TV. When you are plugged into the TV, the LCD screen turns off, but you still retain all the functionality of the BioniCam. This makes reviewing huge enlargements in real time a fun group activity. Contagious Fun for the Whole Family
The hand-held magnification "eye" is fun to hold and makes it easy for your child to explore the microscopic world without complicated scientific instruments. Viewing the magnified images on your computer or TV screen in full, vivid color encourages kids to take learning into their own hands and provides numerous opportunities for parents and children to play fun and educational games together. The excitement of seeing objects in your child's everyday world magnified to up to 400 times is sure to be a hit with whole family. Fortunately, the lightweight, durable plastic unit fits comfortably into both small and large hands. And if you need some help getting started, the easy-to-read instruction booklet offers lots of tips for finding items that hide interesting textures, from pine needles to sponges and insects. On the lowest setting, the LEDs occasionally prove too bright for viewing lighter-colored objects, and these images may remain unclear on large viewing screens. On the higher magnification settings, however, this did not seem to be a problem, as textures and colors came through flawlessly. And while the battery pack makes it easy to explore indoors and out, the LCD screen can be tough to read in direct sunlight. Overall, these are minor concerns that should do nothing to prevent this fun, educational toy from being big hit with all kinds of kids. What's in the Box
BioniCam, I.R.I.S. lens attachment, removable USB drive, and video cable.

I bought this toy for my daughter for Christmas, and she absolutely LOVED it.
She kept on looking on absolutely EVERYTHING (even my finger tips) for many days.
Of course, now it's collecting dust.
Just wait when the price is right !

I first purchased a "Cyclops-Bionic-Eye" for around $25. That was a great little microscope. Then I found this one with the onboard video screen and USB flash drive for storing screen captures. All I can say is "Fabulous!!"
 Display is too dim to use December 30, 2009
crtee (Arizona)
This toy seems like a great idea, basically an electronic microscope. However, it is difficult to focus and the illuminating light is so dim that it is unusable. We just could not see much on the display. If the LED illumination could be increased, it may work acceptably, but there is no control for that. If you were in a completely dark room, you might be able to see the magnified image. Anyway, we didn't use it. It was a waste of money.
Initially had some doubt, but then... December 27, 2009

My niece opened it up and was immediately filled with curiosity. Batteries were inserted and things took off from there. The whole family got involved and we were having a great time. We hooked it up to the television and everyone had a great view of all the fantastic things we were discovering. Everyone had to have a turn at holding the Bionicam on their skin. The skin shots seemed to be the most fascinating. My niece was thrilled, and I couldn't have been happier watching her have fun with it. Fun for the whole family!
