easy way to view trics?

anyone know of a semi-cheap and easy way for me to look at the tric's of my plant without dropping big bucks?

30x microscope or jeweler's loupe. I got both for about $25.

radio shack i got my 30x x100x for about 12 bucks

sweet..thanksa bunch, i didn't kno if they were that inexpensive or not

If you have a camera with a decent macro function on it you can get a pretty good look.

Yeah they're pretty cheap, but in all honestly you get what you pay for. The glass they use isn't that great, and you have to get really up-close (even touching) the buds to get a focused view.

That's exactly what I do with my DSLR and macro lens



beats any handheld microscope/loupe.

dam. thats nice.

i don't think my cam would be that nice..
its like a 5 megapixel with macro but i think the zoom is only like 5x optical

I use the 60-100x radio shack scope too located here: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2179604

It's inexpensive but can be pretty tricky getting it in focus. What I do that seems to work is focus it on clothing/something easy to see while the microscope is literally touching the object. Once it's in focus try to move away 1mm or so and re-focus it. Whenever I do this it lets me view trics on buds without touching the buds/leaves themselves. Check out the reviews for it at the link above, 99% of them are people looking at trics.

That looks like a shot from a Canon EOS...am I right?

yeah 40D with 60mm/f2.8.

Good eyes!

Not hard at all to tell. All you need to do is save the picture and check it's properties. Check details and it tells you the camera that took the picture.

M4A1 lol...

I was going to say.. knowing the exact model of camera that took a cropped photo would be an interesting skill to say the very least. A Lot of photographers use EFIX data like that from other shooters photos to try and recreate the same scene to get similar photos. God bless efix data for the hands on learners like myself in the past.

SLR for the win on trich checking.

well... hope the picture was worth saving! lol

lol, heres my results using the microscope i got at radioshack and my 5 mega pixel cam
