Just need to learn how to use it.
Does it have autofocus LOL ?

if you consider an out of focus, blurry picture AMAZING, than you're right, it takes AMAZING pictures..

It's the conversion from BMP to JPG, they look better on my computer than the tiny pic version you guys are seeing. I'll figure out how to convert them myself soon.

Have you ever grabbed the spectacles from some googly-eyed visually challenged bastard
and then looked through them ... wow

That is what your pictures remind me of
Good memories

Cool scope. But I can't tell if the trichs are clear or cloudy. I found that something in between 30x and 60x has decent resolution to actually see the trichs. I had a 100x and it was so blurry I couldn't make out shit due to not having a steady enough hand.

yeah, same with me jack.. i bought one of those 200x usb port microscopes, and before my puppy decided to eat it one day, i had the same issues.. seemed to me that the 200 x was just too powerful for what i needed and i got images like fin is getting, just too close and hard to get focused..
i prefer my 60-1oox from radio shack set on 60x to be a bit better to handle and keep in focus, although i haven't figured out how to get good pix out of it as of yet..

when you point something right over the bud it shadows it and blocks much of the light
this can often give blurry pics when taking macros
with a camera this can be sorted out with the flash, or taking the macro a little further away and then cropping pictures in after
or experimenting with back light and light directly aimed at the subject
not easy to stop the blur without auto image stabilization like you would have on a camera, or a tripod

peace

This is a 25x-200x So if it's an issue of zoom, I'll eventually find the sweet spot.

I'm thinking I may actually need to turn down the light, it has a few built in LEDs.

The higher you have the magnification the more the shake of your hands will blur the picture
the less light hitting the subject the more fuzzy blurred it will look

none of your pictures were light flooded they are dark and out of focus

Those are head lice and you better get them treated.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Mine takes pretty good pictures.

 

[SnapsProvolone]

Its a depth of field issue. The higher the zoom the tighter the focal plane is. Basic photography.

 

[chewberto]

Now all you have to do is grow a single trichome! Yay!

 

[BarnBuster]

is there one USB brand better than others?

 

[SirGreenThumb]

I have an off brand microscope, but I think that the quality of pics that you are going to get is not only based on the scope but on the software used and the drivers while also having a steady hand and good eyes.
Here is the one I have.

I think any digital scope will work as long as you learn how to use if first.

 

[Finshaggy]

Getting better. I'm thinking of grinding the bud before I scope it, because the flatter and lower it is, the easier it is to see it seems like.

Leaves would be easiest. I'll get some super awesome pics soon though.
