I need some kind of magnifier and I came across these. They advertise them as 100x but in my experience it tends to be less when it comes to chinese products.
Could you take a look at these video reviews, please?

 
I use a Plugable usb microscope under $40 on Amazon. I also use samsung galaxy 9 plus to take pics then zoom in to check trichs. There are some macro apps available in the Apple store not sure if they have them for android that help take better pics to check with.

For <$20 you can get a USB/digital microscope that covers the useful range of magnification, and will take postable photographs.

There are also even cheaper hand-help optical microscopes, such as the Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120, that will do the job.

Is a smartphone really enough?

Thanks. I will take a look.

I think it does pretty well with just a smartphone. Then you can expand the pics to zoom in on screen to check trichs. But here are a few that I took last time.

Might have to get one of these myself, im old school, been using a 30x jewelers loupe. If that is genuinely 100X it would be perfect for checking tricomes
