Having spent years looking a styli under a microscope I can tell you that you can't tell from that picture. You don't have they right equipment. You need training and lots of practice to do it right.
I left a record on a turntable spinning for a few days and it trashed the cartridge. I didn't need a microscope. My ears told me when I played a record. If you have a record that is not important to you, I would try it and see.
The other alternative is to send it to Soundsmith. I am sure they have the right equipment to check a stylus. The cantilever looks good, so if the stylus is bad, the probably can just retip it, at a mucy lower cost.
