I think you are missing the point. Spider mites pose no threat to us, but they munch on your plants and can do major damage if left to do so.

I'm half-blind and use a 5x magnifying glass to check for trichome development and any insects or insect poo. Harder to see color, but experience helps with that.

I have the Radio Shack Pocket Microscope, but rarely use it on my meds. But it does allow me to inspect other's meds that I occationally 'test'.
