I ordered this one a couple of days ago: http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/gadgets-gizmos/usb-gadgets/usb-microscopes/index.html
I bought the 200x, that should be enough.
I'm looking forward to getting the package

i got it for 13 bucks. checked out the face on the statue on the 10 dollar bill. that fucker has a pointy nose.
i tried to look at my buds {beginning of buds anyway} but my 1000 watt was blinding me. i guess i could wait until lights out and bring in my flash light and look at them.

yeah it's tough to hold it just right up to the buds, i usually trim small leaves, that are close to the bud, from various spots, that way i'm able to set it on a table and observe...towards the end you gotta look right on the main cola cause it usually finishes first...

umm yeah, i'd say for the most part, but all plants are different and i've had most of the hairs be brown before and the plant need more time...once you've got a few grows under your belt, you can just start to eye the buds and tell when their done...they'll just look done, and i bust out the scope to make sure..

I have to say that I am amazed at how small this it. Depending on what you are using it for, it can be very versatile.
As with a few of the other reviews, mine was used to check trichromes. It does the job well and will help you determine when your stuff is done.

excellent for Trichome viewing
By Horticultural Expert from California on 9/21/2008
Pros:
Lightweight, When to harvest, Strong, Sturdy case, Works Effectively
Best Uses:
Trichome Viewing
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about RadioShack Illuminated Microscope:
With this tool, you can see trichomes perfectly. When trichomes turn from clear to milky or amber it is time to harvest. This is the best way to determine when your crop is perfectly ripe. If you need to know this information, you NEED this tool, and heck, for the price you can't go wrong. Highly recommended!
