Microscope for cartridge inspection

I'm looking for a microscope for cartridge inspection (hence the tittle) and came across this in my search.

Does anyone have any experience with this scope or this company?

That's the only thing I feel qualified to identify. If wear is symmetrical that means the stylus is evenly worn, and I don't have the expertise to determine how much symmetrical wear is permissible, not to mention the fact I probably could not detect it if it's there.
