Recommended hand held microscope

Hey dudes and dudettes. I just wanted some recommendations on a hand held microscope so I can keep an eye on my trichomes and make sure I am harvesting at the proper time.
Thank you!

These $40 Chinese microscopes from Amazon are all really the same regardless of who they state the manufacturer is. They work just fine. The software that comes with them is crap, but you learn to work around the software issues. I have one and it’s great.

Pretty sure I have the one above, not a very tech savvy guy easy to use and gets great pics. Took these yesterday

This is the same one I have, too. I haven’t broken it yet. Works good.

Handheld and microscope are not compatible.
As long as you cut samples to view on a stable surface you are good.
If you want to do the inspection on the plant you need a stand that is stable and will not vibrate.

For kicks I was checking out trichomes on a plant in the tent.
The USB scope is on a standard camera tripod mount

It is only 48 days into flower stage and not checking for harvesting
