$15 will buy little hand held microscope online that is optical and led lighted, used several going back to when they were lit by flashlight bulbs.
30 power jeweler loupe works fine also.

I bought a $4 magnifying glass from amazon just for picking off a few stray dog hairs now and then. It has a big lens and a small, more powerful lens, and you can actually view trichomes up close with the small one. It has become my favorite viewing tool-amazon has dozens of them from different brands but they all look identical-so just buy the cheapest one. Mine was like $3.78 or something. The microscopes are pretty cool, but you can't beat the usefulness of a magnifying glass for quick insect and trichome checks.
