Does it matter what microscope you use to see the trichomes

radio shack sells a nice little pocket micro-scope for around $15. i've read where some folks even use a jewelers loop, or a powerful magnifying glass.

The Radio Shack scopes kind of a pain
in the ass to use.
You have to snip a bit of the plant and use
it on a table to really see anything.
Even then, unless you snip a ton of
samples, you're only seeing what,
.005% of the total tricomes.

A 15x loop is what i use if im being anal.
Usually when i can see an amber tint
with my plain old eyeballs, thats when
i chop.
Unlike a lot of people, or so it seems,
i like to get zombified.

me too man, i can spot the trichs with the tintage of the buds. sometimes i use a tiny magnifying glass on a swiss army knife lol. i dont chop until amber trichs also, i dont really like the speedy high, i like to become a laughing zombie and i usually only smoke at night so an energetic high is too much.
