80mm Length + 28mm Diameter Handheld Polariscope with Flashlight
This handheld polariscope is an essential tool for testing cut or rough gemstones. It utilizes two polarizing filters to observe the structure and optical properties of precious stones or minerals. This versatile instrument can also be used to identify Moissanite and detect strain in diamonds. The polariscope is compatible with a strainless sphere (a glass sphere free of strain lines) or a loupe, allowing for visual assessment of whether a stone is doubly or singly refractive and its optic sign. Additionally, it reveals strain and twinning, assisting in distinguishing between natural and man-made materials.
Features:
- Heavy-duty construction made from metal and optical glass for precision and durability
- Reliable performance crafted by professional artisans
- Gemmologist tool for diagnosing the optical properties of gemstones (singly or doubly refractive)
