Just wanted to share this info in case no one has documented this. So I stumbled across a very inexpensive way to Microscope your buds at that exciting time of cultivating. I've used the Carson microscope but find it very frustrating to look though such a small, long lens, and try to keep focus. Especially when trying to take pictures through it. Most digital microscopes are expensive. Although these tools may zoom in more the 20x, I find that you really don't need more then 5x to see trich colors. So for only $1 I ordered a macro lens that attaches to my phone off of wish. com. I then downloaded a free Microscope app that allowed my phone to zoom up to 20x. So with a decent phone camera and a dollar lens you've got yourself a nice Microscope. It even came with a fisheye lens, and a wide angle lens witch was fun for a bit. Hope I was able to help someone looking for inexpensive way that won't frustrate the crap outta you. Here are some pics

You really don't even need the Magnifier app. Just zoom like normal on your phone camera. I only like the magnifying application because it allows me to quickly zoom out to position the camera over the area in which I would like to zoom into. Also, it gives me crosshairs to help with better accuracy over where I would like to zoom in.

I have that small phone lense and a magnifier app. The problem I run into most is just holding the phone still while trying to take a macro.
This is just zoomed in on my phone, no lenses. It's ok but I'd like to get closer.
