Hard to focus at high rez tho. Rigged mine up to fit a tripod. Had to grind a few spots on the flimsy little base that came with it. I should have looked for one that has the threaded hole like cameras do to go on the proper plate for the tripod but I do what I can to fix shit like that.

I have a celestron 5 that works great. Was a gift- they're about $85, but great optics with macro and micro focus ranges and quality/ easy pc software for viewing in realtime view /image capture/exporting

I don't have one yet, but I have had my heart set on this: https://www.amazon.com/Opti-Tekscope-Microscope-Advanced-Definition-Industrial/dp/B0184CCOY0/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=usb+microscope&qid=1577754483&s=electronics&sr=1-20

I have the $22 one now but it really sucks. I need better resolution.

Each of the designs in those links are based on a lab microscope design.
You have to put your media under it on top of a little platform.

The opti tek looks like it is dependent on the base to focus on the target.

By modifying the Jiusion to fit on a photography tripod you are able to set it up to any bud on the plant
in many different angles and at any height required.

Focus on the Jiusion is all handled by the one wheel located on the microscope casing.

I took this pic with my phone in my left hand and the Jiusion in my right with the lens housing resting on the bud.

I prefer to cut off a small sample so the microscope stand is ideal.
