Bulbous trichomes appear on the surface of the entire plant but are so small (10-15 micrometers or microns) that you won’t see them without the aid of a microscope. For reference, the width of a human hair is 40-50 microns.

Capitate sessile trichomes are the next largest group. They are slightly larger than bulbous trichomes and are significantly more abundant. Capitate sessile trichomes start to take on the more familiar head-and-stalk shape.

Capitate-stalked trichomes are the most common of the bunch. They range in size from 50-100 microns, which means they can be seen with the naked eye. Capitate-stalked trichomes are composed of a basal cell (stalk) topped off by a waxy gland head.

Indeed it's surprising to see how abundant trichomes on plants are, they do even serve mutliple different functions, such as to keep the rH right near the stomatas a bit higher and throttle the windsheer down (others develop defensive toxins in them, some plants use them to regulate how much water can stay on a leaf...) so they are all a part of a plants ability to adapt to the ambient environmental conditions. A way to being able to keep stomatas more open and not to loose that much water
