What power Magnafying glass is needed to see trichomes

Depends on your eyes. I can't use a 30. I need a 60/100x. But alot of people use 30x.

i use a 30x jewelers loupe. it seems a majority of people use the 30x but others use higher and lower power as long as you can get it to focus on what your want to see.

eventually you wont need the loupe and you will be able to tell just by looking at them with your eyes. once you have seen the change in looks when they ripen, you will know what i mean.

i use a 60x just got a new one after i broke my 30 dollar one only paid 2.50 and it works great really worth the 2.50 lol

cheap scope works great

Yeah, 30x is just about perfect. They make metal and plastic ones- just check ebay, Edmund Scientific, Amazon, etc. under jewelers loupe 30X and they are like $3.29 for the metal.

Hows the 30x jewellers loupe treating u man? I was gonna order a 15x belomo loupe do you think this will be good enough??

I use a 20x triplet and have no intention of upgrading. cn

I picked up a 30x jewellers loupe. maybe 6 bucks. I'm pretty new and at first i couldn't find anything to see. Think i was looking to early. Couple weeks later I am able to see everything. Maybe just needed to play with it some.

I ordered a 60-100x, (10bucks) but I don't know if it zooms in to far or something, but it was a pain in the butt to see what i wanted so i went back to the 30x working. great.


I've see some microscopes to attach to your iphone and take close up pictures. Has anyone seeing one for the galaxy s3? thanks

You can get a 40x loupe with a built in LED at this link: http://www.tmart.com/40x-Glass-Lens-...ht_p85607.html for 3.64 free shipping

I ordered one, just got it today and it works great. But if your eyes are bad I would recommend getting one that's more powerful, or maybe a pocket microscope. You can get one of those on ebay for around 5 bucks.
