This is the one I use. It works great and has a small light in it as well.

Google it they have it at Walmart
Needs to be at least 60x to get the best view of the trichs imo.

FYI, it’s spelled loupe. 60x should be your minimum magnification. Anywhere from 60x-100x works well.
Here is the one that is probably the most popular around here:
30x/60x loupe
I never bother to use it anymore since I got this to put on my phone. I just shove it right up against the buds and snap a photo, then enlarge it on my computer. I’ve found it works best with the built-in light turned off, as long as there is sufficient ambient light(I take my plants out of the tent and put them on a benchtop under fluorescent lighting to take photos).
60x clip on scope
I also have this microscope that sends images to the phone and goes up to 1000x magnification. I don’t really use it though, because at that magnification the plant has to be 100% still to take a photo. I can use it after the plant has been harvested and it lying on a benchtop, but it’s pretty much useless before then.

Lol thank you
@TommyBahama thanks for the info on that 1000x that plugs into phone. Was wanting one, glad I didn’t get it now. I use a handheld magnifying glass with a lighted 40X and a 120X The 120 feels like you’re inside the bud. Less than $10 online.

I like that.
I wish someone made one like that, but with the 120x magnification in the large lens instead of the small one. 30x is the most I’ve seen, though.

I got that same microscope from flea bay for $13. PIA to take clear pictures. Can’t hold it steady but great for looking at the trichomes in great detail!

Here’s an example photo using the 60x clip-on phone attachment I mentioned earlier:
So you don’t have to scroll back to find it, this is the one I am talking about:
