A cheap jeweler’s loupe works just fine. ---

Many of us get cheap USB microscopes from Amazon. ---

I have the same problem. Many of the microscopes come with stands. I use this: > **[Amazon.com: USB Digital Microscope, Teslong 10X to 200X Magnification Camera...](https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-Teslong-Multi-Function-Magnification-Waterproof/dp/B01IV0TV50?tag=ilovegrowingm-20)** > > Buy USB Digital Microscope, Teslong 10X to 200X Magnification Camera with Stand, Portable Handheld Electronic Coin Magnifier, Soldering Camera Ear Otoscope: USB Microscopes - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases ---

I use one of these, does an excellent job and $12.00 bucks 🤟 ![IMG_3894](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/0/c/60c7d5a3f14c37220af4c9da486bb095974818d8.jpeg) ---

I see a lot of folks struggle with getting good pictures with these digital 'scopes. The way I do it is to clip a _tiny_ piece of flower calyx from a few locations and bring them in to a stable surface and take pictures. Much easier. ---

I’ve been happy with the wifi 'scope I picked up from amazon. At that magnification everybody has shaky hands. I also added a cheap microphone stand per a recommendation on here, and that works great. Holds nice and steady, the only thing I have to worry about is getting good focus for the picture. ![2024-10-02-084114981](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/3/d/63d65b4fe0ee14cb7e41f291f7c4d62f42006ef4.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20240828-135036_Amazon Shopping](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/7/2/2/72201d083dcc2b503f5aeceeac1f0464bee64b3a.jpeg) ---

Just get a microscope and a mic stand and make your life easy and your Picts clear. ---
