They really need to make microscopes cheaper. they should be consumer household products.

I bought something like these a few years ago and they really do come in handy from time to time.

Wait till you get an infection, then you'll know you missed part of it.

You can squeeze on and around the wound in different directions and pressures. There is a difference in pain between agitating the wound and something poking around in there. Or if you're really concerned you can bite something and really cut open and scrape it out.

Sometimes you have to use a needle to dig out the little pieces. I usually use a small sewing needle. A tack or even a staple can be too big.

As fohat pointed out, an eye loupe is also a very big help here.

Plenty of more affordable options available. In Germany Bresser is a very popular affordable microscope, prolly plenty good for common tasks. High quality & professional microscopes are very expensive to manufacture.

You can get vintage microscopes which aren't at all worse in terms of optics compared to modern ones for little money. I personally use a olympus from the 70s and the quality is outstanding.
