Microscope...

Hi,

Just wondering if you guys use a microscope for checking out the trichs as I saw this on ebay and might buy it -

You don't need that. Use the one that most growers use.

RadioShack.com

thanks, will have to see if I can find one in the UK

Well, I won't call you an idiot but you will NEVER be able to focus ANY scope 50x and up if you try to hold it to the buds of a growing plant. You can't hold it steady enough. The depth of field is way too small. That means if you move it 1 centimeter either way things are out of focus. What you do is clip a leaf, set it on a flat surface and put the scope on it. I'm not the only one who swears by the RS scopes. Just watch this thread.

I know what you mean, i tried putting shit on a white piece of paper, etc couldnt ever focus, almost seemed like it was broken?

That may have been the case. Take my word......if you want a great view of the trichs you can't beat the RS scope. Grab another and try it but keep the receipt. If it doesn't work for you take it back. Good Luck!
