Best "cheap" microscope for trichome check

i dunno if you ever shot a rifle or used binoculars, but everything is magnified under magnification...including your movements!
i tried a stick on iphone thing and hated it, replaced with a cheap amazon wifi microscope and pretty happy with it.

I bought a cheap backlit loupe off amazon for like $7 and it works fine. Even a cellphone with a free app can often do the job
I have a nice magnifying glass with light but it doesnt really get you close enough to see whether or not the trichomes are milky or amber. I want to buy a cheap microscope that connects usb so i can use the laptop to make it bigger as my eyes are horrible as it is lol bigger screen the better for me.
I use a $30 job off Amazo. The pics in my “Is she ready yet” thread we’re done using it. I wish it had better resolution than the max of 1080, but for $30 it is Bluetooth enabled.
I have this one.

I still hurt my eyes with a good old Jewelers Loupe. I also need to invest in one also some day
Yeah jewelers loupes are the best, but can't find one cheap and strong enough..
I use that I bought on Ebay for a tenner.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123824766496
it's pretty small but it's good if you not too shaky
haha

- What I got...
This is what I use $41.99 on Amazon. It works ok but the focus can be a PIA . everything must be off no air movement and don't move a muscle to get clearest pictures. I use it with a iPhone 11 and it works great. I had troubles getting it to work with my laptop. Other than that it has been a good cheap camera. All of my macro trichome shots are with this camera
