Not long ago, I purchased a different USB microscope for evaluating my stylus tips, and below are a few images from an Audio Technica AT32E, which has many hours of usage.
This first shot is from the front, where you can see the profile of the wear spots. I didn't place the red lines directly onto the spots, but it's pretty easy to see the flat areas.
Next, from the bottom, and with only the microscope's ring light, the wear patches show as somewhat darker spots.
And finally, another bottom shot, but this time with side lighting, so the reflection of light from the wear patches appears as bright spots.
The results show that although this stylus has significant usage, it still has a fair amount of life left IMO.
The key with contact patches (right and left) is that they shouldn't 'meet in the middle', forming a chisel point. When that happens, it indicates that the stylus is 'bottoming-out' in the groove (of your precious vinyl record), which is not a good thing."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Her IT"S name is "SOPHIA".
A ROBOT created with artificial intelligence was selected by a US college to give the primary commencement speech, sparking fears of an AI takeover.
What started as a normal commencement ceremony took a turn for the bizarre on Saturday when graduates and their families were introduced to Sophia the robot, who gave an inspiring address.

Love scenes like that. I find myself longing for lazier, less crowded and hectic days... Mid 60s to low 70s and low humidity as well.
