I'm at a point where I am concerned about the wear and tear on my Lyra Delos, and would like to check its condition through a microscope. Does anyone have a brand/model they can recommend at a reasonable price? Also, what am I looking for? Is any possible damage so obvious it doesn't need an explanation?
Guys, would this supereyes b008 scope be also good for record examination or one has to go stereo? I go crazy trying to identify problems with some records, a scope would help.
Check out dx.com. They have a whole range for a fraction of the cost. Have ordered a sub $10 model. There is a $30 model that looks pretty much like the $300 models !! Cheers Pradeep
Fleib, Thank you very much for your informative review. I also found that 2MP USB scopes really can´t see micrometers, and it´s even almost impossible to see a sharp pic of a stylus at 200X because the pixels themselves become visible. Depth of field is problematic with high magnification anyway. So a real stereo microscope, e.g. an Atala BYO-500T with 400X and 1000X is the solution for me to study Micro-Ridge´s and Shibata´s wear.
