microscope

Might be a daft question I know but, it's doing my head in. I bought a wee microscope with a light. 60x - 120x., to check my buds, trichomes but it's doing my head in, trying to get it to focus then you get it, 2 seconds later, yer trying again, then your hand moves a wee bit.. AAaaagh. just wondered what others use.. cheers

Use a stand for the scope and place subject on a firm surface.

Mine has a phone app and I started recording it as a video so I can go back and find the parts where it was in focus for a second. And like mentioned above mine has a clip on stand I set up but it’s still hard since I bought a cheaper one.

Until you want to cut off a piece to set on a table for viewing it isn't easy but it's doable. I did it in the dark, during lights out. I prefer to use a clip-on magnifier lens that goes over the lens on a smartphone. Best pics were with the phone resting atop something just the right distance from the bud. I use a voice prompt to snap the picture, don't have to touch the phone.
