30x all day long.... I have a 60 to 100 and Ive learned to use it properly but its overkill honestly. Feel like im in a jungle using it

I use the one you labeled the 'pocket one', it's slightly adjustable (that black part can slide out making it longer). Works "good enough" for me.

I've seen a few people use a cheap toy-ish microscope with USB connection and snapshot function - very convenient.

I have a 20x jewelers loupe, which is just strong enough. Remember, sharpness is more important than mere magnification.

I've got that pocket 45x one - the exact one. Does the job perfectly. I have a 30x jewellers loupe too which isn't really up to the job.

I have a 15/20/30 that I don't like at all. I find it hard to really look at the crystals and be accurate.

I use the 60-100x pocket microscope from Radioshack on the 60x setting and works wonderfully.
