I was looking all around yesterday but didn't start driving around and actually going to stores pretty late. Saw the little Microscope from Radio shack.. it was a POS IMO i saw other similar ones very small but were Crap as well. So I eventually went with a J Loupe or whatever with 20x Magnification bc thats the most powerful and clear one they had only $5 so wont hurt me that much if it doesn't work out that well. U think 20x is decent or I wont really be able to tell?

A lens with a magnification of x60 is ideal. lots of people use less x20 would work I think.

I agree with 60x is optimal, but typically I just use my 40x loupe, and only break out the 60-100x scope if I'm still uncertain or I need a closer look.

I bought my 40x loupe on eBay for $4 (and another $4 for shipping), and my 60-100x scope at a local smoke shop for $35.
