Microscopes and Magnifiers

What are some of your favorite microscopes and Magnifiers that won't kill the bank?

Love the avatar.

I bough this one, but there's also a cheaper one for like $23 that I haven't tried.

The one @FamMan linked looks decent too. The one I posted doesn't work with IPhones.

Me either. I can't stand the way Apple does business. My daughter buys the Apple shit, but I still love her, lol.

Nice!
Appreciate the examples..

$15 will buy little hand held microscope online that is optical and led lighted, used several going back to when they were lit by flashlight bulbs.
30 power jeweler loupe works fine also.

I bought a $4 magnifying glass from amazon just for picking off a few stray dog hairs now and then. It has a big lens and a small, more powerful lens, and you can actually view trichomes up close with the small one. It has become my favorite viewing tool-amazon has dozens of them from different brands but they all look identical-so just buy the cheapest one. Mine was like $3.78 or something. The microscopes are pretty cool, but you can't beat the usefulness of a magnifying glass for quick insect and trichome checks.

I use the following one. Works great for me on android device. It made my profile pic.

This is the one I grabbed, Don't mind that its USB and not wireless.

Some examples, though I think I can get it in closer...
