Many of the microscopes on Amazon are identical but have differing manufacturer names. ---

I downgraded to a jewlers loup. Its super hard to get good trichome pics without either a stand to hold the microscope or cutting off a small chunk to lay on a table. ---

I have been using the TAKMLY for a couple years now…I only use on my IPhone and it is a challenge to get a good picture because of delay and movement…but if you are just looking it works perfect for you…I put the phone on a camera tripod and use both hands to steady the bud and scope when and if I need to have a picture for whatever reason ---

I actually don’t use mine for checking trichomes. I have a jewelers loop that is flat. I use double sided tape to attach it to my phone. Then I have a blue tooth camera button so I don’t have to jiggle my phone when I take the picture. 😊✌ ---
