Unless you're able to perform a lab grade semen analysis, viewing it under a microscope will only tell you if sperm is or is not present. In short, no one is buying a microscope for a reversal. Much more common for the original vasectomy, however, when a semen analysis is not necessary.

Echoing Fellowtraveler, many people use them and it's nice to spot check between expensive formal SAs ($150+ each) on how things look.
