What is this purple flower?
Striking contrast with the yellow pistils.

the picture quality is professional.
How do you interface the camera and the loupe? My hands start shaking and I get pics of nothing. 
I got one from Amazon, £18 delivered. Connects to the phone and even has a little stand.
Will do images like this
or this
Images are not super high res, not even full HD but they are good enough to post online and to check for amber trichomes etc.

There are macro lens kits that fit most cell phones. The one I have looks like its no longer available, but they are all similar.
I also use this USB scope:
The software is not that great and you may have to spend a good bit of time messing with drivers, but once you get it working it takes really nice close up shots. The seller is good at customer support though and will help you through any issues.
However, it is even trickier as far as needing to hold it still to get a good clear picture. Thats true of anything that zooms in this close. I rigged up a Rube Goldberg gizmo to hang the scope from my light fixture so I can take pics hands off.
Here is a shot with the maxcro lens on my LG phone and then one with the scope. The scope gets much closer.

I even got one of these. It works well but you only get a glimpse as the slightest movement and it’s gone. Infuriating.

Yeah, shaky hands are a bitch. I jury rigged a semi-adjustable holder that I hang from my light so it is hands off when I take pics. Its just a clamp with an arm attached that then holds the scope so I can bend it and move it from one bud to another. Its not great but better than holding it in your hand.
I haven’t done it yet, but Ive been intending to get one of those flexible goose neck things like on some lamps to rig up a better system.

Sure, here you go
That is the link from my orders, there may be cheaper or better ones available by now but I am fairly happy with this one.
Just so you know, there is a design flaw which means that at maximum zoom the end of the lens blocks the LED lights illuminating the subject so it is in shadow. For maximum zoom you would need the subject to be lit from underneath or the side.
The images I showed above are done with the subject still lit by the microscope so it zooms it a lot before this happens. I have not felt the need for the last bit of extra magnification yet.
Here is how close you can get
And here are the images from that
