Here’s a nice little microscope at a superb price. Would be great for stylus checking. Buyer collects though:

Hmm! Pity it's collection only. Not sure magnification is adequate for getting down and dirty on a fine line etc. but lots of fun for the price regardless. Just too far to drive, unfortunately even though it's the next county.

Remember the eyepiece adds its multiplier, e.g. with a standard 10x eyepiece that becomes 40, 100, 400 and 600. Change the eyepiece to a 15x and everything ups magnification again (though it gets darker and depth of field reduces). To be honest I only use the first two objectives at 10x for styluses, they are fine. It is all you need. Lighting is important though, and one either side as the Shure scope used highlights the wear the most clearly.

PS Here’s a fairly similar one with shipping option:
