Find a hidden world with this electronic hand-held microscope. This 200x “bionic eye” plugs into your TV, providing endless fun for kids of all ages. The whole house is a new frontier for exploration, from the hair follicles on the dog to the varied landscape of human skin. A simple dollar bill provides a treasure hunt of hidden images, too small too see with the naked eye. Teens and adults will find themselves sucked in right along with the kids, looking at who-knows-what in the carpet.

Bottom line: Fun for the exploring (or gross out) types. Comes with bug tube and viewing dishes. Useful for science projects. At $49.99, this is a lot of technology packed into an affordable price.
