magnifying glass

[high_man]

how many times zoom would i need to see trichomes properly and clearly iv tried to find a hand held microscope but i can only find those real hard out microscopes they have in labs and scientists use lol i saw some magnifying glasses but they all like toy ones they dont have much zoom so i figured if some can tell me how much zoom i need from a magnifying glass then i could just go and walk into a shop and tell them exactly what i need and get it hope this make sense cheers guys for any help

I have a 10x loupe and that doesn't supply enough magnification for me to see the color of the trike's.
I would recommend 40 x.

would that be enough i wanna be able to see the trichomes clearly enough to tell properlly so that i dont harvest to early or too late
