How to determine wear on a stylus?

Over the years I've accumulated several cartridges and would like to determine which have styluses that are still in good shape. I suppose a microscope would be the best way to examine them; any recommendations as to type and power? Or any other methods of determining wear on a stylus?

Thanks, Elizabeth. That sounds like it's worth a try.

". . . when it sounds dull??" My concern there is that by that time it may have begun to damage the records.
