At a Glance
Requires: 5 AA batteries, TV with video input jack
Magnify Your WorldThe hand-held EyeClops magnifying "eye" is made of brightly-colored, lightweight, durable plastic and features an ergonomically shaped handle that fits comfortably into small and large hands alike. To operate, simply insert five AA batteries into the "Brain Case," attach the video wire to your TV's video input jack, and turn on the power switch, and you're ready to go!
With the easy-to-hold magnifying lens in one hand, you can focus on any number of everyday objects, such as coins, fabric, your pet's fur and even your own hair and skin. The images will appear on your television, and a zoom dial offers either 100x, 200x or 400x magnification. The EyeClops comes with a focusing lens, a viewing dish and a tube to enable your child to explore a variety of everyday objects safely and easily.
Contagious Fun for the Whole Family
The excitement of seeing objects in your child's everyday world magnified to up to 400 times is contagious and sure to be a hit with whole family. With no software to upload and minimal set-up, the EyeClops can be put to use almost instantly.
The hand-held magnification "eye" is fun to hold and makes it easy for your child to explore their world. Viewing the magnified images on your TV screen in full, vivid color encourages your child to take learning into their own hands and provides numerous opportunities for parents and children to play fun and educational games together. And because the EyeClops is powered by five AA batteries, your child can enjoy several uninterrupted hours of exploration without the need for recharging or replacement.
Although the EyeClops is extremely easy to set up, it does take a little practice to make things come into focus. However, with the aid of the simple focusing gauge on the I.R.I.S. lens that surrounds the magnifying lens, this initial awkwardness is quickly overcome.
On the lowest setting the LEDs occasionally proved to be too bright for viewing lighter-colored objects, and these images could not be seen clearly on the TV screen. On the higher magnification settings, however, this did not seem to be a problem and textures and colors came through flawlessly.

Customer reviews
Fantastic Edutainment Toy by .. Pam Tee ()
A friend said his daughter (10) wanted a microscope and I suggested that he consider the Eyeclops instead. Then I realized that I hadn't reviewed it. [I mention this so you know that I really like the Eyeclops; enough to recommend it to friends]
===============
Last year my SIL bought this for the children and I have to say the whole family has used it and enjoyed it. My husband has used it to read tiny inscriptions on jewelry. I've used it in conjunction with the kids' science unit on crystals -- we looked at salt and sugar. And, of course, we've used it to look at untold numbers of warts, moles, freckles and scabs.
To use it you just take it out of the box and plug it into the television. What you see is a magnified image on the television screen. This ability to share is something you can't do with most moderately priced microscopes. The picture is in color, although every once in awhile it will be in black and white. We haven't figured out why that happens but it's usually fixed by jiggling the connections.
Magnification-wise there's not a great many options, but you can go up to about four hundred which is good enough for youngsters to learn more about the world around them. It's a cool edu-tainment toy ... and it's a heck of alot easier to look at scabs if you don't have to cut them off your body and put them on a slide :)
Awesome Toy! by .. Kevin L. Waters (Summerville, SC USA)
This is one of those toys that I play with when my children are at school. The only thing that would make it better is if it were wireless! I bought this for my 7 year old daughter who loves it. Fantastic value, great learning toy.
Captures the attention of both adults and kids by .. Mom of 2byz (Manassas, VA)
We purchased this toy for our then 5 year old son last Christmas. It was so simple to plug into the tv and then voila - let the fun begin. The magnification makes everyday objects so interesting to look at, and much easier then trying to use a mircroscope. With two boys, it became a competition of who can find the grossest thing to look at, skin, scabs, warts, moles, wrinkles. Whenever we bring it out Eyeclops draws the attention of everyone around and everyone wants a chance to use it. It is a good way to spark the curiousity and we've enjoyed this product. Occasionally it is hard to focus if it isn't sitting directly on/over the item you are trying to magnify, but that is only a minor setback, because the kids quickly move on to find something different to check out.
Wow! How Fun! Amazing! by .. Maegan G. Proehl (Chicago, IL USA)
My 6 year old daughter received this last year for Christmas. When we get it out, it's all kinds of fun. You'll hear many sound effects - cool, ewwww, stuff like that. We put it on the carpet, our skin, furniture, toys, blankets, spices, etc. It's amazing. It's almost like a microscope - that you can take anywhere (as long as the cord reaches). My daughter has gotten it out at family gatherings and everyone is always amazed - and interested... "try it on this, focus on that" And it's handle and durability makes it a better option for kids than a microscope. Lots of fun and great price!
My boys love seeing a bionic or at least magnified world by .. Sherry (New York, NY)
We first saw this toy at a friends house, when it kept 2 six year olds and 2 four year olds buy for 2 hours! It magnifies anything it can essentially touch, hair skin, we are going to have fun looking for more. Very cool and definately worth the $25 we found this for on Amazon.
