Best microscope or other way to see pests?

Someone said this could be Aphid shells I’m finding all over my plant… or some other pest & not just debri from soil/fans.

I need something better than a loup to be sure. What’s an easy to use microscope I can hold in my hand & snap some photos in my tent with?

There’s the standard one Amazon recommends…


Anything cheaper/better?
Thanks!

I have both wired and wireless versions. Both do the job well. With my wired I need to bring g my laptop but the wireless juat connects to my phone so it is definitely more convenient for the extra couple dollars.

I have a wired one, but another brand. Used to work fine - albeit a little tough to hold steady to get clean shots - then my laptop went and sneakily upgraded itself to Windows 11 behind my back and the scope’s firmware isn’t compatible with it anymore. It probably still works fine, but can’t connect to anything to find out unless I pay for another laptop. Microsoft would probably just break that one behind my back too. :frowning: Gotta love technology.

Yup, won’t ever buy a Windows product again, if I have the choice!

What’s the best wireless one that works with Apple products like iPhone or iPad and not Mac ???

That’s the one I’ve got and works fine. I connect it to my Android phone to check trichomes, perhaps for working in the tent a jeweler’s loupe is best, I snap the buds and inspect them comfortable at my sofa … :sweat_smile:

Higher mp means better quality. Most of these cheap chinese microscopes are only 2mp so see if you can find something higher. :+1:

4k is just the resolution. The mp is the picture quality. I’ve seen 4k tvs with a shit picture. Look at these tvs that upscale to 4k. Mp is megapixels. Higher megapixels is a clearer picture.

Yours has 120 degree viewing angle the other is 30 , does this come in to play if deciding between the two

Last quick question
Will the picture these show will they be upside down and movin left is really right etc or is pic true

I use Carson pocket magnifier and it’s good but you have to get used to pic being inverted and all them inherent quirks

Any picture can be stretched to output 4k. So these 4k cameras that are usually 2mp the quality is questionable. They still do a good job though. Good enough to check trichomes.

Is that why viewing angle is stretched from 30 to 120 to make it 4k on paper
