Microscope for cartridge diamond tips

Just re-read some of Ant's posts. He is able to assess wear at 60x, so very possibly I just need more practice and a better idea of what I'm looking for...

Yep, you need to know what the stylus looks like in the first place or it's impossible to asses.
Also look for tiny steps in the side profiles, under a microscope these will be plain as day, with the loupe not so much. I look more at the way the reflections of the little light look like.
And if in doubt, dont use it
