What are those microscopes called to look at bud and leaves close up and what the cheapest price for one and where?
What do you search for on ebay? Just " 60x pocket scope?i got a 60x pocket scope for 2.50 on ebay works great
Bingo. radio shack. much easier than ebay and they are cheap enough that shipping can cost more than the scope.I got my scope from radio shack for I think $6-10 its a 30-60x adjustable with a little light on the bottom which makes it easier to see the trichs.
they have this one on ebay for less than 5 bucks free shipping it only took 3 days to get minethe only issue i have with mine is you cant view the triches on the bud without taking a cut and movibng it to a solid location.
people also say jewlers loups work good.
and then theres the best toy

As far as I can tell, that's how they work. They are really designed to sit on a stamp or coin or whatever. So you have to touch the leaf or bud. I think I will try one of those $40-50 USB scopes next time around, like this one perhaps:I use the radio shack one as well, I find I have to press it on the bud then adjust to get a good look. The plastic piece infront of the light has some resin on it. Anyone else find this to be true and if not tell me what the hell I"m doing wrong lol
I did that. The view on the 60x was too small for me. I bought a lighted 45x and it works great.I got a 30x LED and cant make out much. Gonna try a 60x now.
