The BioniCAM magnifies objects up to 400 times their actual size and is capable of connecting pictures to the computer. There is an I.R.I.S. lens attachment which helps make accurate magnifications. The light source of It uses an adjustable magnification dial to focus 100x, 200x, or 400x the size of the object. The microscope can also be plugged into the TV, which makes it very ideal for watching on a larger screen. The BioniCam is ideal for inspecting butterflies, pollen and other small things.
