  Got the loupe yesterday. It works great! Best view I've ever had of my stylus. Thanks for the heads-up!

  Thanks for the link, Henry. I just ordered one. My old 10X wasn't cutting it either and I really didn't want to mess with a USB microscope.

  unless you have a rock steady hand. With the small field of view, it is also difficult to grasp moving the loupe in the opposite direction from what you are used to doing. It is like turning the car steering wheel to the right and having the car turn left. I would think your 30X loupe would be much easier. Of course, this power is only good for observing gross damage or the cleanliness of the stylus. It would certainly tell you if your stylus cleaning method is really working.

      actually mini compound microscopes. They both have objective and eyepiece lenses that invert the image, and they both have a small depth of field. This makes hand held viewing very difficult.
      
      My 10X loupe like your 30X loupe is just a simple microscope with a good depth of field and that does not invert the image. For gross examination of the stylus, the 10X is not bad, so I can see how much more useful your 30X loupe can be.

      • I went from a 10X to the 30X with LED light. Big difference. - Opus 33 1/3 15:23:17 04/29/15 (0)

      I have had one for a year and it works fine for me after that is a large one drawing a blank but it is size wise is roughly 3 by 5 it has a light and you put that sucker over a what you think is a clean lp and it shows dirt that you would have missed amazing how important cleaning an LP is. Just knocked me out how much it showed in the groves Enough said.
