What do you use to take pics of trichomes

I see these cheapo microscopes for like $10 but they must be junk.

I would also like one that I can take a picture through, without spending a fortune.

Any decent smarrt phone macro lenses?

An example pic would be great!

Those cheap clip on macro lenses for phones are not too bad....
When my lights go on I'll take a few trichome pics and upload them for you

2MP digital microscope with VLC media player for software.

Try these, worked for me... http://www.amazon.com/CamKix-Universal-Camera-Smartphones-including/dp/B00FDLNR7E

Many prefer those usb microscopes you see going cheap

good value from what I hear

good luck

Here's the ghetto version I couldn't find the clip to hold the lens on the phone so they're a bit pants.
Still...under £/$ 10.....

Thank you all.
I downloaded this free app on Google playstore. Looks about the same quality as a cheap clip on lens, right?

Think I might spend some more $. First harvest so I want to get a clear visual.

Hmmm...not compatable with smart phones. Computer is downstairs, which would become a pita. Bummer

Hey man. Just got one of the cheap silver pen type ones today, and it works really effectively. Only thing I would say is I wish it had a larger, rubberised piece to rest your eye on, eyelashes tend to get in the way, haha.

For my first grow I relied on the pistil method, worked O.K. I suppose. Then I got this really cheap 60x microscope and I swear everytime I went to inspect the trichomes I could feel as if my eyes were about to pop out from the focus. I would get an electric microscope, those with 100x zoom rates. Connect to a computer and BAM you have some proper headache free close ups.

So are they clear or cloudy??

You could also get a proper microscope, that'll make you look really professional.
