Hi there, I found a useful gizmo on eBay..... A 60x currency inspection microscope. About £4 inc p&p. So handy for viewing stylus wear. Recommended. I guess most of you know of this I just thought it so useful!!!!

I wish my eyesight was as good as Jamie's that I didn't need this to view o microscopic piece of diamond. What do you use may I enquire?
lol ,my eye sight isn't that good,i use a 25 x loupe,more for cartridge alignment,i always buy new or low hours cartridges so im not fussed about looking at the tip too much,if i do i use one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Micro...cAAOSww9xZBDTg
the beauty of the ones above is you can view it on your pc monitor and take photos,see here for pics,

the trouble with the one you bought is you have to get it so close to the tip to see anything your in danger of hitting the cantilever. just my opinion though.

Really handy for all sorts of things, including stylus inspection and examining surface mount components on circuit boards.
