Trichomes colors look different under two different microscopes,,, which is right ?

I have a regular jewlers loupe that is 30x and I just use the HPS light to see.
I also have a microscope 60-100x I got online with a led light on it. The led light looks kinda blue when I turn it on.
My trichs are definately getting mostly milky white but I see a few turning slightly amberish under the microscope but not really seeing it with the jewlers loupe.
Any ideas on this ??
this is my first grow and it has been absolutely plagued with problems so I am trying to make sure the 3 plants I have left get done right
thank-you

I pull them in between when there milky and amber cause if you let them go to long the thc will start to go down also dont go off your jewler loop go off your trick glass

I'm not surprised you are seeing a difference when one is being looked at using a blue light and the other an orange light.

This :) Basically under an hps everything is gonna have a slightly amber tinge anyways and without experience it can be almost impossible to tell the difference. The one using the led is the one you want. Usually its a pure white light altho if your using it under the hps it will look slightly blue. When i feel the plants are getting close i will remove a very small leaf from a bud with a razor and tweezers and throw it under the scope. This lets you get out of the hps, which isnt good for your skin anyways. :)
 
thank-you so much
Lights out right now but tomm. I will get a leaf and bring it inside to look at to see.
I am also going to try and get pictures to post.
I was supposed to get all the same plants but have two different kinds maturing very differently. So hard to tell
Was all free so no complaints... just confusion :)
Pics should help
 
Thank-you so much everyone for the help. I brought a leaf in and scoped it on the table and it was much easier than under the light
got just a few amber trichs on the leaf. I posted pics on the "is mine ready thread". Please take a look and fire away. I am a sponge and ready for any and all info.
Thank -you!
