Does anybody have any suggestions for a scope to purchase to check for trich development or possibly a link to a site? What would be a good magnification level to choose? This is something I would like to invest in but I have never really seen any threads on the subject. I was hoping to spend less than $100 on it if possible. I use to have a great science supply store near my house but that is gone. Any suggestions appreciated

If you are in the states, RadioShack had two versions when I bought my last one. They had a loupe with three lenses--10x, 20x, and 30x....you could lok through them all at once with them lined up back to back and get 60x.

The one I bought looks like the traditional "weed scope". It is rated for 60-100x, has a light that shines on the item your viewing, a focus wheel, and a separate wheel to change the magnification with.

I really like mine. I use it on 60x almost exclusively. It IS nice to be able to turn it up though when you want to see just how much of the individual resin head has turned color.

Here's a link to the one I have http://www.radioshack.com/search/ind...icroscope&sr=1

Good luck in your search.

I got the 60-100x one from radio shack, it's cheap and works great.

Just don't forget to switch the light off after using it, I forgot and the battery died.

My buds just get stuck to my RadioShack scope...its all goo'd up so I gave up.
I went back to my alternative..it's not as powerful but effective enough.I use it to search for preflowers on my "from-seed" plants too.

I have the radio shack scope, you really have to focus it well to work proper.

Thanks alot for the Radio Shack tip, damn thing is cheap but works really well. I just used a nail clipper and clipped a small amount of bud off and bam that was the best look at crystals I ever had...lol

I use the 3 lens thing from Radio Shack, think it was $15 if I remember correctly.
