well I have been somewhat challenged in that department.....I have not been able to keep a steady hand....and so far have not clipped any leaves...but I suppose that is what I should do...I have just been trying to hand hold it....and at my age the parkinson's and alzheimers has settled in pretty good....hahahahahaha....I'll try again. So do all you folks clip a leave portion and look at it under the scope or am I totally being lame here?

I just lean in on the bud with my pocket microscope to check am all over the plant. Not just the leaves. I don't pick leaves to see them, just get in close enough.

Hey Tahoe.. Do you have a Microscope that has an adjusting focus. I find that if I turn my scope all the way one way, and just like Chiceh suggest, press right up against the buds, I get a clear steady look at the trichomes..I have some pics that I have been meaning to post of some trichomes that I shot. I will re-size them and show them off to ya!

Hope you get a shot of them trichs soon, I'd like to see them, use two hands you should be used to it by now that's something I failed to do this first harvest invest in a micro, I was too focused on just growing some buds and now I look back on it .. I sure wish I woulda got one, Damn It! Oh well maybe next time...

I had problems holding it steady too. So now I grab a stool, sit in front of the plant, microscope in hand and I rest my elbow on my knee to hold it steady while looking through it. Mine goes from 60x to 100x as well.

That helps alot...
Oh by the way Chiceh, I would not tell people that you like to grab stool, they may get the wrong idea....I know Tahoe is a bit of a freak.....

hahahaha....i spent the first 8 months of my career as a biologist, following wolves for days and weeks and picking up their sh*t for food analysis.....and let me tell you....hiking in the dead of a July summer with easy 30-35C temps, and a 100lb pack....and WAY too much wolf sh*t....hahahahaha...learned a lot, wouldn't trade the experience for a thing.....but still makes me laugh!! but even then.....now 28 years ago.....i had my weed - or more often than not .... honey oil at that time....!

shitty story Tahoe! LOL, I had to collect my dogs shit for a few days...4 dogs died of poisoning on my street, and my dog was the only survivor. Somebody thought it would be a good idea to put gofer poison in something that the dogs were attracted to. So sick..Anyhow I found the pellets in my dogs crap...We got lucky that she lived..
