Microscope Buying Advice!

[tacman7]

I was watching weed wars on tv and the grower had problems with mites and when he brought it in the girl examined it with a microscope on a pc screen and rejected the harvest, hey, I'll smoke it!

But do you think that's this sort of thing:

Portable-USB-1-3MP-Digital-Microscope-Endoscope

Then I saw this sort of thing:

ebay.com/itm/360419353801?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1423.l2649]eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

might be cool to look at tricombs may be.

Anybody have a really good product for inspecting harvest and deciding when to harvest?

Thanks

My girlfriend bought the 800x one just like that. I think it was around 50 bucks on ebay. Its hard for me to focus good with it since the zoom and focus are the same knob. Here's a couple pics of what i came up with. The second one you posted is pretty good to use. You cant hook it up to the computer but it works great for checking out the trichs.

i have the second one you posted bought from Radio Shack at the same price. i've been very pleased with it but have been looking for a good usb scope so i can take pics too.

I'm going to get both things. May be not those exact ones...

The user reviews on this one are very informative:

I'll probably get this one:

Black USB Digital Microscope 2 Mega Pixel Video Camera 200X

I buy a lot from newegg and they are good about returns.

dont waste your money on those small microscopes, too hard to focus and eye pieces suck...buy one that has some size not those tiny things

The Eyeclops does a good job for the price.
Nice depth of field and it has a thumb drive to transfer anywhere.

what about a pentax digital camera with a sweet lens? i think mines like 45 times zoom, and i get amazing pics with a little 15 dollar tripod. the camera was 230 with the lens on ebay, it works great for my grows, and now i have a rad camera too.

ciao, damp

I've been looking at a lot of things, I use my canon sx130 and it does pretty good.

But that's about as good as it can get.

I just bought one of these:

SVP Handheld Digital Mobile Magnifier MicroScope

Have to see what it can do when it gets here...

[tacman7]

So the new toy is good and all, just a lot harder to work...

I won't be using it to judge the tricombs unless I do it by removing the bud, have to have to put it on a table so it will be still.

It can make fantastic pictures but it really takes some work, still I like it.
