Digital microscope recommendations

I'm at a point where I am concerned about the wear and tear on my Lyra Delos, and would like to check its condition through a microscope. Does anyone have a brand/model they can recommend at a reasonable price? Also, what am I looking for? Is any possible damage so obvious it doesn't need an explanation?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jtwrace,
How much did you pay for it? For some reason, seller sites do not list the price for this particular model. Thanks.

I was hoping for something much cheaper than $300, but it's good to know this particular model has proven reliable.

Also, what is it that I'm supposed to be looking for? Is wear and tear obvious when examining a stylus up-close?

Jragsda,
This microscope looks very promising and it costs a fraction of what a comparable Dino-Lite would cost. Please share your experience once you've used it. Thanks!

Jragsda,
Thank you very much for posting your feedback and pictures. Sounds like the product is a winner for the price. Btw, I appears it should have come with a stand included in the price so perhaps you should inquire with the seller about it.

I don't think you need a stationary microscope to check for stylus wear. I certainly don't want to dismount my cartridge to check for wear. Many of the Dino-Lite microscopes will serve both purposed just fine.
