Need advice on lens or microscope

[Sharksbreath]

So my grow has reached the flowering stage and I'm starting to see resin/ trichome build up on the fan leaves. Pre flowers are coming in too, super stoked. So it's time to get a jewelers lens or a microscope of sorts I guess. Would love to hear from fellow growers on what they use to check on their buds and trichomes. Also, what's the minimum magnification needed to see the trichomes clearly?

Please look at my last update in my journal in my signature below. It may help give you some ideas. That one is 60-120x if i remember right and only runs 10 bux. It's funny because I just now posted some trichome pictures with it.

Carson 60-120x microscope or a cheap 30x and 60x magnifier are popular around here.

Thanks everyone for the advice, I ordered the Carson microbrite plus. This should work well enough for now. Thinking of investing in a dslr camera later down the road to take some nice bud shots and trichome shots. Would also be nice to have a good camera since I only have a phone camera lol
