Ok I finally got the nerve to go out and get a high powered magnifying glass. I went into the city and discovered that our radio shack is no longer. It is called 'the source' and they didn't have any high powered magnifying glasses.

I was really looking forward to getting close and personal with my buds but 'no can do' ...
Bummer!!!

I use the same thing, Lacy you can get these online. My bud uses a magnifying glass, it's not as good but it does a half way decent job...kinda shocked me but it does.

I bought a 50X play microscope for kids at zellers for $20 it worked well it has a spacer at the end with a light so you can hold it at the right distance. It's bigger than the one above and its purple.
peace
