Adjusting SRA using macro lens vs microscope

I have ordered a USB microscope to adjust SRA after reading Fremer's article. Meanwhile, I took some pics of the stylus with non macro Canon L lens (handheld) and can visualize the sharp triangular shape of the stylus and the record surface. It is only reasonable to assume that with a tripod and macro lens, the image would be much better.

Since many audiogoners are expert photoghraphers as well, anyone tried this?

What I find interesting is the focus on correct SRA whether set by sight or sound but the consistent dismissal of the anti-skate issue. We are so focused on SRA and setting it for each record but everything from disabling anti-skate to setting it to match VTF seems appropriate.

Dougdeacon, I wasn't really saying YOU were dismissing A/S. From reading your posts I cannot believe you would dismiss anything. However, everything from no anti-skate to setting it using blank LPs has been advocated as correct. I was just saying that there has recently been this tremendous focus on 1 aspect of cart set-up with you advocating that LP by LP adjustment is critical, while another aspect varies so much.
