Default what type microscope?
Hey all, Im approaching the day I have been patiently waiting for and I want to know what type of microscope to buy. I tried getting the one at radioshack but its sold out online and the stores close to me are as well. So, Im seeing a bunch of cheap kids microscopes online... what magnification is needed? some are 100x, 300x, 600x etc... how strong should it be? I havent used a microscope since i was a child in science class and I have no idea which one to get..... I have a 30x magnifying glass but its not helping. thanks everybody. peace

its alot easier to just pull 1 small piece of the bud or a leaf very close to the bud and look at it on a table. have fun with your new toy.

60x is a hell of a lot of magnification for checking trichomes. I recommend a 30x scope.

yeah you do have to be pretty thorough checking with the 60x. tough to get more than 8 or 10 in focus at once.
