Can it be used to see dust mites and other insects not viewable with your eye?

The four main species of dust mites range in size from .008 inch long to .012 inch long. Therefore, at this microscope's lowest power (60X), the smallest of these dust mites would appear as if it was nearly 1" long to the naked eye; and at 120X, the largest species would appear as if it was about 1.4" long to the naked eye. As you can see, the MM-300 is not just adequate for this purpose, it's perfect.

Does this have a light that stays on (one where you don't have to keep the button pressed down to keep the light on)?

Yes. There is a button that activates the LED light that will stay on continuously until you press it again to turn it off.

What exactly makes this item compatable with an iPhone or Galaxy?

Hi Amber,Please note that the MicroBrite Plus Pocket Microscope (MM-300) is not compatible with any smartphones. The added image is just to show some different related Carson products like other pocket microscopes as well as products that can be used for digiscoping purposes. We apologize for any confusion.

Can you see the trichomes on cannibas bud clearly

It takes a little practice and stability, but yes. It has a very narrow field of view, but I can clearly see the trichome structures in very good detail from 60 - 120x. It's not as flimsy as you would think for being plastic... The zoom is a slidebar that's snug and stays where you slide it for magnification. I have found it easier to use a jewlers loupe as it has a good field of view, but most are only 10 - 16x and not easy to see trichomes very well as you can with this one. There is/are some loupe-styles on Amazon that are 30x that might be actually best of both... but this Carson model definately works - but just a tiny pinhole to view through.
