« on: March 10, 2016, 12:48:46 PM »
Anyone here use a USB microscope to inspect their stylus? To inspect SRA? What do you use for magnification?

I have a dissecting microscope that I use to inspect mine.  It does require a bit of contortion to get the proper parts in place and still use the eyepiece.
 
Seriously, I use a dissecting microscope to inspect a stylus..
