I have the scope you put on your phone but I’m so shaky I have a hard time using it. My last update on my Samsung phone made my magnification in the camera go up to 30x now but again …I shake I bought this little toy to try out. I’ve only taken a couple pics with it because I’ve been busy. So far, not totally in love.

Clip a few samples from different flower and place on a piece of white paper then bring in and set up on your dining room table. Then you can take all the time you want to set up your tripod mounted 'scope. ---

> [@duhneese](#): > > They are only 4" tall at 6 weeks must be an auto. At six weeks the trichomes don’t need checking unless you are just curious. At high magnification some sort of fixed support is a must. I went with a camera tripod because that matched the screw mount on the scope ![plug tripod2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/4/e/34eaac127c356017e7ca66a084f76e78acc505a4.jpeg) ---

The sample you take doesn’t need to be any larger than a grain of rice. ---

I clip a small piece off a bud and set it on a table then scoot my microscope up to it until I can focus it, meanwhile my phone sits next to it on the table so I can use both hands to fine tune the picture. Takes a little practice. Not everyone is willing to sacrifice a small piece of a bud though. ---

Yup… Taped the base of the scope to a jewel case, and taped that to the top of a guitar stand. But that was too short, so the guitar stand top went into a sheet music stand base. ---
