I use this 60-100X illuminated microscope.
They can be purchased in most grow shops or online.
It works well.

I’ve got a cheap one from amazon. Paid about $10 for it. It works just fine. You don’t need to use it too often so don’t put too much thought and effort into it. Anything with 50-60x+ magnification will be just fine.

This is what I wanted to hear. I tend to go on the side of excess, not to short change myself. I’m liking the under $20 for the moment.

Just got mine yesterday. 6 bucks on amazon the same exact one sell for between $ 10-30 on amazon and eBay . I think it is one product from a manufacturer with many distributors slapping there name on it and selling as theirs. It’s a 30x -60x with two lights works pretty good I can see well and even working on getting my camera to work with it. It’s a cheap one and I’m sure I’ll learn more and get a better one in the future but for now it’ll due the job. Here’s some pics taken with the loupe and an iPhone camera. I’m gonna work on getting better shots it’s hard to keep bud and hand steady to get a good shot.

You can also purchase these clip on lenses that have macro, fisheye and wide angle lenses included and they clip right over your phone's camera lens.
Not as close up as the 60x100 I showed earlier but cheaper on Amazon etc and perhaps you can zoom in close enough on the big screen.

And from the EcoPlus I showed in my first post (60X100) it looks much better through the device as opposed to through the phone camera trying to hold it just right...

Same here but I need a little something more to see those trichomes come harvest. This loupe ran me $9 on amazon.

Maybe cause I have a newer phone. But I can take a picture and zoom in for a better look than the loop gives me. Since the picture is still and the plant likes to flap around in the breeze. The picture is as good as the loop in my case. And a bit better since the picture isn't moving around 🤣
