So i know there was another post about this but i only saw one and didn't really give me definitive answers
I bought the carson 60x-100x handheld off Amazon and that thing was a piece of shit, hardly any viewing room and couldn't focus yada yada ( i thus learned to use those you need to clip off a leaf, still that thing hurt my eyes and just brewed frustration. And reading all the reviews of the typical loupes people suggest they all say their 30x mags are 10x at best etc etc

So what magnifying glasses/loupes/digital are you guys using?
Please if you have pictures of your magnified trichs post them
I just want something to see my trichs clearly and easily that doesn't cause eye strain and isn't over $150

i use the same radio shack scope to check my trichromes. I will say it sucks balls for looking for pollen sacks on young plants, basically a 30x scope is a much better investment. Something about beggars an choosers....?

Well I guess i could phrase another question and ask what is a real good quality 30x jewelers loupe that isn't really just 10x, i kinda dont trust things that are only worth $2 dollars you know?

i am also needing to buy something for closer viewing of the trichs., i have been just as leary to buy one because i am looking for a product i dont have to take pics with and upload to a computer to actually see the trics., i also have bought a 30x loupe and it does not work unless i upload to PC and then view them. This works great when growing 1 plant, but in a SOG setting, you have to upload several pics of several plants to find a good shot.
Someone once mentioned a kids microscope that hooks up to your PC, like looking thru the viewer but seeing it on your monitor. I think it was 60-100x also, with a stand.
