hey guys,
i just heard from my friend that he was able to get a 200x USB magnifier for like $20.. i am wondering if you guys could tell me what to look for in one of those? what should i spend to get nice image quality - because i would love to have some other objects magnified in good quality and also weed, hash, etc..

any suggestions?

thanks and happy holidays!!

I just went and looked at mine... it's an Intel Play QX3 Microscope. Has 10x, 60x, and 200x magnification. Made for kids. A family member was throwing it out because her kids were too old to play with it any more, so I grabbed it. Works great, and it's actually very convenient if you can take a laptop into the grow room. Just point it at a bud and move it around until you see a nice clear image on the screen. Takes snapshots too, if you want.

I was thinking that you wanted something a little nicer than my children's microscope, but I thought I would mention it anyway since it does a great job for checking the plant and they are fairly common.
