radioshack has these cool little pocket microscopes. i was skeptical at first, 7 bucks for a microscope? come on! must be complete garbage...

but, after finding nothing else, i went with the pocket pal, and WOW!! i've had table top micro's that don't show as much detail!!

but, with these, you have to cut a tiny leaf to put on a flat surface.

radioshack also sells three way magnifyers. not sure of the power, but i know they would work. i like my 60-100x micro, though, so i'm not even going to experiment with the magnifyer.

hope this helps

Magnifiers for looking at trichomes Hey all, my babies are close to harvest time, so Harris and I picked up a magnifier that has an 8x function and a 30x function. the 8x one is the easiest to use, as you just pull out the piece of plastic and look thru it however it's not quite large enough to see the right amount of detail. the 30x is a bitch...you have to look through sorta like a tube so it's really tough to keep still and therefore nearly impossible to look at the trichs long enuff to determine their color.
