Somebody else posted but I waned to confirm. I had an old cheap telescope laying around and took the eye piece out, turned it upside down, and checked trichomes. LOVED IT! My 60X100 hand held was too sensitive (needed firm base) and didn't give a wide field of view. Telescope lens isn't 60X but enough to clearly see trichomes with wide field of view. Great option for anyone looking for good magnification.
