Those Radio Shack plastic microscopes are great for checking out detail in a closed environment and on a flat surface but for getting closeups of the flowers while still on the plant a 10x-30x magnifying glass is much better and easier to see what's going on. Higher power needs a steady surface or else it's nearly impossible to keep the subject in focus which is why a lower power is best for our needs.
