I use a jewelers loupe that a bought from DD4H. Works great and it has improved my prep process.

What is the magnification of this unit? Various? Approximate cost?

10x - 150x magnification. Cost was around $65 -$70 with shipping included. Bought it some time ago so price may have changed. Has LED lighting too.

EDIT: Found it here for less $$$

Here is a pic I took of an axle with the microscope:
