10x 18mm Handheld Darkfield Loupe with Flashlight
This 10X, 18mm loupe features darkfield illumination, providing 10x magnification typical of standard loupes but enhanced with a specially constructed area that allows you to view gems against a black background with strong lateral lighting.

Ideal for traveling salespeople and jewelers, this loupe is battery-operated and comes with an LED flashlight for enhanced visibility.
The darkfield lighting environment aids in the clear observation of specific inclusions, playing a crucial role in distinguishing between colored stones.
