My niece, nephew & eventually the rest of the family joined in to have a great grossed out time with this Eyeclops Bionic Eye.
The children's teacher had to have one for her class. This EyeClops had been so much fun for the adults and children. We have shown it to all our guests. C. Thompson
Turns out you can find lice with this thing.which is good, since our elementary school enjoys infestations at least twice a year.
Once we got it working the images were less than spectacular. Bought the toy for my nieces on their birthday. Once we plugged it in to the tv it was difficult to figure out how to work it. There was little contrast on the screen, so everything appeared to have a white haze over it. Not a bad buy for $40, but not as good as other reviews make it out to be.
After the past experiences, I was leery of spending $50 for another microscope item. They were searching the house for new things to look at. A few days ago, my nine year old approached me about an interest in the EyeClops. The poor quality kept the kids from developing any interest. We bought my daughters two different microscopes in the past. After the kids went to bed and I had a chance to look it over, I realized that I could also hook it into the computer's AV adapter and capture magnified video and pictures off of it using the Movie Maker that comes with Windows. The kids started checking anything and everything out. It was very simple.
Now that I have seen the EyeClops in use, $50 doesn't seem so bad. When we got it home I was not looking forward to setting it up. We were very disappointed by both. I was very surprised by the quality of the images that were being captured. After some negotiating, we agreed to pick it up. However, it plugged in the TV and that was it. It's less then the price of some video games and the kids are enjoying learning new things. It made for some really cool pics.
