Review: EyeClops BioniCam Video Microscope

The "EyeClops BioniCam Video Microscope" is a very fun and functional portable microscope. For the very low price this can be found for on Amazon, it is a true value. The best feature is that the unit is self contained, so it does not need to be directly connected to a computer or to a TV (it can be via the included cable).

Pictures are saved as ".jpg" to a 32mb USB drive (included) that can be connected directly into the computer's USB port.

The unit feels fairly flimsy, so care should be taken when focusing or changing the magnification.

When looking for subjects, flat objects work best at higher magnifications.

Remember that this is a low cost toy, not an expensive scientific device. When used correctly, children will have a lot of fun and perhaps this will even spark an interest in science.

Overall, we are very pleased with the performance, quality, and price of the EyeClops Video Microscope. Recommended!

4/5 Stars

MSRP: $79.99
