do you have a digital camera? If so, check and see if it had a little flower icon on it as a setting. This is macro mode. It will allow you to focus your camera within a half to a quarter inch from the lense. At this point, it's really up to how good your camera and how steady your hand is, but you could focus on a 10 to 30x lense if the apateur of the magnifier is equal to or greater then the apateur of your camera lense...whats the best way for the least amount of money to get those close up photos of trichs. I heard one grower say he uses the lens from a lazer pointer but never elaborated...Sumpin' decent for under thirty bucks?
Thankssss
I have two mini microscopes...the reason I want one is for posting in threads occasionally and for the blog I haven't started yet...Why do you need pics. Just buy a 100x mini microscope for like 8 bucks.
I shoot quick macro through a $10 10x loupe that was given to me. The 10x of that multiplied by the optical zoom on my camera gets a decent 50x closeup. When I want good macro up to 230x, I use a Dino-Lite USB microscope. Don't run out and buy one unless it's dirt cheap, though. Mine goes for $500 and it's not worth even half of that IMO(fit/finish/feel in kinda cheap). It takes a decent picture, though.
