This is very similar to the one I have, I think it's actually the same just a different listing and the price was about £20 for me. Might've been able to get it cheaper had I looked. Nice and easy to use just have to remember to take the cap off, I didn't see the cap when I first used it and thought i ruined it because it looked all smudged until I was fiddling with it one day and managed to discover how it really worked.

Sure - was 20 dollars off amazon. This is the best quality pics I've gotten with it so far, bit hard to focus just right but 1000000 X easier than a hand held loupe that drives me nuts trying to hold it still close up to a bud. With this I just cut a small sample, bring it inside, set the cam over it and plug the usb into my mac. View the feed using an app store app called quick cam - or can even use photobooth but i think that degrades the video quality a bit

Note: with this usb scope, it might look like the trichs are clear on the outside, but it's more of a reflection / due to the white background and bright light. Notice how the trichomes in front of the actual green plant matter are cloudy - it's because the green contrasts, while the outside trics over the white look clear, they are almost certainly not so.

I used a cheap macro clip-on for my phone. I ordered one for like 6$ on amazon as a small set containing 3 different types...

Something like this:

I also ordered a cheap USB Microscope but that needs to be connected to a laptop, but it has some good magnification, but a VERY limited field of depth.

Hope that helps

P.s.: usable shots with the USB one were obtained by cutting of a popcorn bud ;)

I should note, I didn't really know how to use it when I took that picture, someone gave me a quick lesson so future photos will be much better.

This is the microscope. For $18, its not top quality. The focal point is inside the clear plastic area, I had to shove the nug about 1/2 inch up inside it. I may take a hacksaw to it. But for the price, its rather amazing.
