i have a 30-100x microscope and i know what to look for in the triches and all that , but...is it ok to snip the little sample ill be using for inspection from anywhere on the plant for all the buds??...or do i just inspect trichomes in a particular location for each individual branch im looking to harvest???

You can clip off a small bud that is separate from the main colas and quick-dry it in the microwave. Try it out and decide how much longer it needs. You can also put a piece of it under your microscope.

The reason why a microscope is mounted to its stage is so the picture of the subject stays still. If you remove the body tube and lenses from the rest of the scope (only possible with certain, usually cheap microscopes) and lay it on a firm, steady object (e.g. a stack of books) pointed at the plant & at the proper distance, you can see a clear image through it without cutting the plant.

It looks like you still have about 2 or 3 weeks left to go. Those girls are not ready to harvest.
