Do an ebay search. Look for 30x microscope. The ones that come up that are like $2.50 plus shipping $2.50 Are actualy better for looking at trichs than the 420/radio shack ones. Nice bright led light and no fukin around with the focus.

Needed: a link for an affordable serious scope.
like the one in science class with the light, only better. gotta be able to take pics of spider mites, random hair, frayed fabric, fungus gnats and Dr Seuss Garden Globes.

Those are bad, first time I seen one was in a High Times... but they are in my own opinion, way overpriced! Very compact & work well, but nobody should have to pay more then $10 for a cheap ass little scope like that one. The built in LED is cool, but not that hard to equip as well.

Here are some identical products pretty much, without the '420' label @ affordable prices from $0.99-$10.00

You will find 30x-100x microscopes for as low as $0.99 buy it now. Don't let the low price fool you [many people think low price low quality] which is true in many cases, but for microscopes, it's not so much a big deal. They're all pretty much the same product, different labels, they all do the same thing. It's not like buying a camcorder, where it matters, if it says it's a 30x or 100x, then it is, there's no such thing as a 'poor quality' one really. I spent $8.00 on mine & it works like a charm 3+ years going & counting. Good luck!

Haven't used it, but I've seen this radioshack special mentioned a few times.

Was thinking about getting a microscope also and the price sure seems right on to me.
this is the one i use, and i highly recommend it. perfect for checking trichs

i dont think 30x is enough magnification
