Cool, cheap video microscope

Just found this on Slickdeals.net website. This could be a real fun thing to have as well as a useful tool to observe trichomes and early sexing
They are usually over $100 but are now about the same price as the harder to use 420 scopes, about $24 (although I bought mine at Radio Shack for $12).

One other advantage is that you can take a snapshot and share the pics with the rest of us here on RIU.

The magnification is really higher than optimal for what we want but the price is good.

I think the Intel play USB microscope which sells in this same discounted price range is a better bet for RIU use since it does 20x to 100x, and 20x is about what you want for killer trichome pics.

At these prices people could try both.

I have a proscope and 30-60x is nice, gives a fairly wide field of view of multiple trichomes, but 100x is great for looking at just a few or even one at a time. I mean look at the 100x photo (top one of the 4 panel shot) in this thread https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/15543-how-do-you-know-when.html
