10 x is enough to see the trich's ... a jeweler's loupe works good ... 30 x is better..... 50 - 60 x makes em look huge

I use a 30x Jewelers loupe myself, was like 7 bucks on ebay. Works well to tell ripness of the bud but not near enough detail to actually do research on the chemicals if thats what you want
