FINALLY got my microscope! I had ordered the ZOOMY 2.0 digital microscope...long story short, never arrived, no reply to support question from seller Learning Resources so kinda glad it never came...I ended up ordering the Plugable USB 2.0 digital microscope and I have to say after a quick run through I am impressed! easy install, simple interface and I'm pretty happy with my first attempts...it helps to have a steady hand, these are handheld shots but you can also mount it on a tripod...check it out!

this is the one I used to take trich pictures as well as some other amazing stupid stuff. Sirius Fourside recommended this model during the class. there are several others but I might caution ...I have another with 8 led lights and the intensity of those leds can cause clear trichs to reflect the whiteness of the light and appear milky white.... THAT could be a small problem
hahaha...Billyboy posted this link above at the same time I was writing this oneComment

D.A.A.S.69 If you run a windows 10 pc, plug it into the USB port, click on the camera program under the start menu.... the sucker lights up and you just click the mouse button every time you want to take a picture....Comment

Farmall we aint got a computer, just a phone.
But I sure like looking at yours an everyone else's great pics.
Just for looking at my plants, that magnifying glass does fine, if they have any amber, you can spot them easy, they stick out like a sore thumb.
I just can't take pictures, lol
Plus I did geology work, in the oilfields, and I got a good high dollar microscope, that I used to use, but I don't anymore, still can't take pictures with it though. Lol
But I love looking at yalls !
Later Farmall, , HappyGrowing, take care.

MoKo WiFi USB Digital Microscope... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07G9ZTHBT?...p_mob_ap_share
I bought this for $50 CAD. It’s challenging to use since adjusting the zoom shifts the whole focal barrel side-to-side causing loss of targeting on whatever small thing you want to see. Furthermore, it really suck for iPhone (yes, it has a specific app to use it). On iPhone 7 the display freezes after only a few seconds when trying to get something in frame/focus. The only way to get the display on the phone to work again is by moving the microscope around (large pixel movement?) to work, but instantly freezes again once there is not a lot of pixel movement. Once I tried using my Samsung S7, the video glitching went away.
Being old old and having unsteady hands doesn’t help either 😏 LOL
cheers
YYCThere are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)Comment

YYCannabis check out the link to the unit I use. It has a small suction cup and gooseneck that you can attach to the included 5”x7” base. Take a tiny piece of bud, lay it on the base and bend the gooseneck to the sample, dial in the focus and your (or mine) shaky hands are no longer a problem 😎Comment

I bought a jiusion digital microscope off Amazon pretty cheap I can't get it to hook up to my Android phone but I can get it to hook up to my laptop it dose x1000 and it takes awesome pictures I will have to put the website of the community on my laptop so I can send a pic on here and show but I got some really good pics I think I need a app in order to get it to work on my phone like I had bought it for but my gracious wife help me take pics cuz it became a two-person operation with my laptopComment

We’re you able to install that software that comes with it to operate the zoom and snap buttons? I found that the leds are very bright and tend to cause the clear trichs to look white from the intensity... but, Maybe their software ( which I could not get running) will help that issue.Comment

I have a question or 3,,, I want something to take these nice tric pics, but I do not run Billyware (winders or mac), I run Linux! I also do not have a smartphone to interface with. What I would like is something that stands alone and take the pics, then hook to the PC USB and copy the pics to it. So whats your thoughts here?Comment

Some people already own cameras.
Agree that your suggestion is “easier” and probably more affordable than purchasing photography equipment. -
I am seeing some scopes that claim Linux compatibility (I find not all claims are true thus I ask). I also see many reviews on near junk saying it is great, and then comments on boards from real users saying they are total junk (canon pops up with their hand held scope).

My son may have your answer...he is a Linux user and pc builder. I will reach out and see if he has an answer. I am doing this currently but I am using Win. I then email them to the phone or tablet and can post, edit or show from all 3. I ll ask him tonightComment

Thanks for the idea of emailing it to myself to get it from my laptop to my phone I've been having issues with that because for some reason my microscope pictures goes into a file I can't find. But I can go into my camera on my laptop by the way which is a two-in-one Google chrome Notebook it's a laptop / tablet it does not even have a place where I can share it that's been my only struggle with this microscope

Got my scope yesterday afternoon, and can already tell it's going to take practice, and I'll most likely have to build me a 'tripod' for it of some sort. Hands too damn shaky...curses to you aging process!
Any way, I got this one for 35.00 and it's Wi-Fi to the cellphone, in other words, it doesn't need a wireless router or anything, it does it on it's own and you just connect your cell to it. Adjustable LED light setting can prevent alot of washout as well.
I attached a few pics from this morning so be kind to a novice tric photographer...can I call myself that? Hummm...LOLComment
