Are the newer USB microscopes better??

No, they use
~1.3mpx cheap sensor. There are a few first shots using phone camera and 3.5$ 60x lens. Not great, but better when comes the inspection aspect when I compare with 1000x usb microscope I borrowed from friend before.

This is the one that works with linux looking at spider mites from hell thanks to bens nursery chewdawg #4.
Hoping to culture stem canker clones to identify fungi or bacteria that caused it.

The specifications spoke of are magnification, pixel count, and price. Price might be a good guide as to what the other two are, but even then, we have the quality aspect. 1600x would need very good optics, and I imagine field of view could be limited, to keep the bits small. You hopefully get what you pay for, but china are often repackaging older stuff for many years. Youtube might be helpful.
I like the phone solution myself. You can take your phone to your grow, and look over areas. While a mircoscope wants you to pick bits off. There is often the issue that most of the view is out of focus, but you can move it about. It's a good cheap inspection tool, if you already have the phone. One that can cover a greater area, given that you can move it about.
Is it this?
The 2mp sensor is weak beside the 200mp of a top tier smart phone. Whatever the phone see's through it's optics, can be digitally zoomed 100 times, before you have no less detail than 2mp. So, the 60x clip lenses, can give the image of a 6000x usb scope that uses a 2mp sensor.
Many desktop style scopes actually use a phone now. Some might offer better optics than the cheap clip-on kits. Though some won't be any different. Youtube really is good for reviews, if you can sit through peoples padded out videos, as they hold you there to earn a little revenue.

This is fusarium viewed at 10 µm
A micron or micrometer is used to analyze very small particles. The symbol for microns is “µm”, and the symbol for micrometer is “µ”. 1µm equals 1.00µ. One micron is equal to 1/25,400 of an inch or one-millionth of a meter.

ADVERTISEMENTS: In this article we will discuss about the meaning and types of micrometry with experiments. Meaning of Micrometry: Micrometry is the science in which we have some measurement of the dimensions of an object being observed under the microscope. The method employs some special types...

I bought one of these. I could see nematodes I ordered in a couple drops of water plus other bugs like predator mites. Not super cheap but will last my for many years.
I am poor so no cellphone. Only want it to see what the gobshite clones I have been getting have. Could be fusarium which has hundreds of sub varieties, pythium, or bacteria.The specifications spoke of are magnification, pixel count, and price.

Yes I have 2 similar.The one with very round top end does not work with linux.
Is that from $300 unit??View attachment 18895293

Yes, for proof for scammers and sellers in denial. I show microscope pictures and expert articles, and still get ignorant responses. Even from seemingly respectable sellers. If slightly infected, could take 2 months till death depending on temp and humidity. Sick of being shit on, by scammers. People that intentionally send plants on verge of death are scum.

I have yet to try any of these, im in the market for a new unit. My old one was well... OLD
They seem to be very inexpensive now compared to what they were. Foreign labor has likely reduced the price, now im researching the quality. The USA Germany and swiss have always been known for quality glass lenses. I will keep researching this future purchase and check back in.
Educating these clone producers is the path to quality cali growers have some experience
Newer legal states are still learning in the USA
You and Ca++ shared some good pictures
hope to see more from others as wellThanks for sharing

They know what they are doing. You have sent the pics, and they don't care. I don't need a crystal ball to know you could spend that $300 and do the work. Then what? They don't care if it's name is Bert or Julie, or if you show a plant or your yogurt. They just don't care about what you or the many others are saying. Saying it again, in more detail, isn't going to change anything.
Wouldn't you rather spend your time and money on something that will achieve more than making them shrug their shoulders for a moment. You may find your email is directed to their trash anyway now, so they won't even know you wrote.
These guys sell through different channels, with different names, so half their customers are buying from them again before long. Unwise to the practice. They don't need to care.

Commerce is customer satisfaction driven
A quick google search "cannabis clone" on g maps many reviews
encourage others to review and share quality producers we have a ic clone list started
Avoid the ones that grow some seeds and choose a clone all of a sudden theres a new cut
Legendary cuts have endured the test of time
