Hi Ben,

Is this the microscope you have?

https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-DEPSTECH-Magnification-Inspection-Adjustable/dp/B07FD6K6VL/ref=asc_df_B07FD6K6VL/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312148122212&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5429262623498801204&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005349&hvtargid=pla-593226213074&psc=1

At 19.99 it's a steal, if it works well. 

Thanks,
Gary

I have a DEPSTECH digital microscope which I bought to examine styli.
It's USB and does a beautiful job.  I'll try to examine the grooves that
way too.
Thanks.
Ben
