Advice - Capturing Trichome Pictures

Sure it's easier to get a $350.00+ digital camera, then spend an additional $200.00+ for the right lenses, or spend a little time on your linux box installing free software, then purchase a 30-40 dollar scope to connect to it.
Which do you think is more attractive?
 
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

this was my 2 harvest. i'm working on my 3rd grow. my 2nd grow is curing yay so yummy smelling can't wait till its ready
 
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.
 
Thanks 😊 my wife was pushing the button on the laptop I held the microscope lol 😁👍
 
Some people already own cameras.
Agree that your suggestion is “easier” and probably more affordable than purchasing photography equipment.
 
Billykid I spent 14 bucks on Amazon it was well worth it.but don't know if it runs with Linux though

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).
 
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.

Well seeing how as my hands are not as steady as I would like to have had, I decided to build me a make-shift tripod of sorts for it.
I took my Walmart Special $20.00 desk lamp and turned it into a new mount. (wife will get pissed, but she'll laugh after the initial shock is gone. LOL)

GreenState, that sure is a beautiful bud and picture.
I still see a few clear, but you gonna see a few of them at harvest.
I see a bunch of cloudy trichs, that are full and leaning over, looking good.Depends on how you like it, I reckon, you hear people talking about Amber and couchlock, sh-t, it all gives me couchlock, after an hour or two,
I've cropped some early, because I had too a few times, first hour or so, made my heart beat fast as hell, but soon after, I was on the couch, high as hell, and nodding, like I'd done a shot of heroin,
On mine I do like to see a good bit of amber though.
If those are from Paul, NewGuy, it's gonna be some killer, but I ain't never grown none of his photos, just autos, Chems Sister an Headbanger autos from him, some of the most potent we ever smoked around here, but all of them we got from him, were potent ,WMosow, is strong to.
What kind is your picture?
Yeah another couple of weeks, I'd guess. I'd check em every 4-5days, just to be sure.
GoodLuck with em.
 
D.A.A.S.69 This one is from a found seed on my winter grow GG4 from Paul. I figure another week or so and we'll be close.
Now, tell me if I'm crazy...I've circled the area in question, are those purple trichs I'm seeing?
(took it with my Nikon camera close-up setting)
