USB microscope ✂️ Harvest & Cure

A small handheld USB-powered digital microscope used by cannabis growers to inspect trichome colour and check for pests on leaves.

Jeremy's primary trichome reading tool. He places a sample on paper, puts the USB scope on it, and takes video or photo snapshots to classify clear/cloudy/amber ratios. Also useful for spotting russet mites mid-grow.
