Best microscope or other way to see pests?

A 2mp one us £20 bro and hands down better than a pocket magnifier. I think I paid £15 for mine.

I use my iphone to view with that same microscope… do we all have the same HAHAHA

No. Picture is stretched to make the picture bigger. Quality suffers. It’s a gimmick. 4k is the new standard. A 4k picture doesn’t mean the picture is better quality.

So the 30 degree angle will be smaller pic but possibly better quality pic

I don’t know about the angle part of stuff. Likely just means it can focus on a wider angle. Panoramic without moving the camera???
What is a Megapixel and why is it important? | Trusted Reviews.

Copy and paste.
Megapixels and resolution are not the same thing. Resolution measures the number of pixels in an image – the total number of dots that make up the image. Megapixels measure the size of each pixel – one million sub-pixels make up each pixel. Image resolution and print resolution are different things.

Hmmmmmmm

What about this ( overkill ) ?

Reviews are average. The 2mp £20 ones are good enough if it’s just to check trichomes. If your wanting to show the trichomes really clearly then I’d pay a bit more. For me it’s to personally check the trichome colour change rather than to show people.
It’s £20 bro. Buy a cheap one. I bet it grabs your attention and has you taking pictures and showing them regularly.

No worries. For future reference for everyone. A camera or microscope that states 4k that means NOTHING. Higher MP means higher quality picture and clearer when you enlarge/scan in closer.
Any picture can be enlarged to 4k that doesn’t mean the picture quality is better.
Good luck @ifish

I bought the amazon one and it had a button on the cord. It worked great. But, when I got the new laptop their software no longer supported it… They eliminated the feature. It is a pain to use. If I ever get another it will be wireless.

When you do don’t fall for the 2 or 4k stuff. Megapixels are what’s important if you want a clear quality picture @G-paS.
4k Resolution just means the picture has been stretched.
I used to own a a Samsung a71. That was the nuts for pictures. 64mp camera with macro. I bought a s21 and picture wise it was a massive downgrade
