Upgrade to cheap microscope. USB phone ones. Or lab type.

I have one of these:

Amazon.com

But I almost never use it in favor of one of these:

Bausch & Lomb 812367 3 Lance Magnifier Folding Pocket Loupe 5X-7X9X USA BULK | eBay

Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Bausch & Lomb 812367 3 Lance Magnifier Folding Pocket Loupe 5X-7X9X USA BULK at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!

The power is additive, that is, with all three lenses in play, the magnification is 21X. It seems they are discontinuing this model, which means I have to buy a few more.

I quit using a loupe once I tried a pair of 1.75 and 2.0 reading glasses. It's like having a magnifying glass attached to your face and I get broader detail than a loupe

This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ATVHB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Magnifies a lot more for a similar cost and super useful for looking at trichomes and bugs
