Does anyone know where to find magnifying glass strong enough to view the color of trics? Is it really necessary? By all accounts theyre ready, except for me seeing the color of the trics...
Thanks for any info...

Radio shack carries a pocket microscope for $12.99. That's all you need.........and it's pretty necessary IMO.

yeah oddly enough the cheap one from radio shack is actually the best one I found. just make sure the one you get magnifies at least 60%. the radio shack one does 60x and 100x magnification. works well.

I have used a radio shack mag before, but the 420 scope is best. Better lighting than RS

That radio shack one is really hard for me to use. Have to be so still, and the perfect angle. And it moves the opposite way you move it.... I took off the little clear plastic on the bottom. Couldnt get close enough with it on, and it rubbed mad trichs off
