well i went down the local shops the other day in search of a pocket microscope. i looked around for hours and the only thing i could come up with was a cheap plastic what looked like an immatation microscope,it claimed that it would magnify 1200x, now would i really be wasting my money on this cheap kids toy? will it be clear enuff for me to see amber in the tricomes? or do i need a half decent one to properly predict the maturity of my plant???

the radio shack one does a good job, but I would look around the net to find a better designed one. I use the lab kind.

Yeah, I'm too cheap to spring for a good lab one.

Edit: The 1200X one will work if you can turn down the magnification to around 60X. The lab ones tend to have a much larger range than a pocket one.
