Solitaire Microscope (S-508)

Microscope is exceptional tool for Diamond Industry. This tool has been widely used, that every aspect is optimised For the analysis of Diamond such as clarity, colour, finish grade and fluorescence of Diamond. It produce an accurate 3D image to make it possible to details of clarity & exceptional accuracy to analyses & evaluate diamonds. Few diamonds are perfect; most of them have some inclusion or imperfection. With Microscope, we can see very specific and accurate positions of inclusion in Diamond. Stereo microscopes are valuable tools for the inspection or analysis of rough Diamond also.

Illumination

The Solitaire Microscope base is equipped with a advance illumination system that consists of a unique combinations of halogen or LED dark-field lighting or Halogen & LED combine dark-field lighting with Overhead a day light fluorescent lamp or daylight LED. Moreover, for fluorescence quality check additional Gooseneck spot UV-LED light available.

Dark field halogen illumination

Dark field microscopy is a very simple yet effective technique to study the inside characteristics of the diamond. A set of mirrors converges the light from all sides into the centre of the stone. It works by illuminating the diamond with light that will not be collected by the objective lens, and thus will not form part of the image. This produces the classic appearance of a dark, almost black, background with bright objects on it and it’s well suited for uses for examination of Diamonds.

LED illumination

LED (Light Emitting Diode) segmental ring light for shadow free ring illumination and oblique light segment illumination. Only LED gives more and a brighter white light to the diamond. Operator can choose LED illumination, which replace halogen with LEDs or in combination of both can offer you the same and extended examination possibilities.

Overhead a daylight

Daylight Illumination offers the best lighting conditions to study clarity, finish grade and even colour. Ideal for the grader to see at a glance the impurities of the stone being examined in 10X loupe.

Microscope Stand

Tilting Movement

Solitaire microscope’s ergonomic designed allow users a stress free work. Due to it’s heavy base body and easily adjustable in height and inclination, individual user can set it as per their own comfort. Stand is a rugged in design and all-in-one device that's easy-to-use and able accompanied all it’s existing and future accessories into it. Moreover, it can be quick to pack up and reinstall wherever it's needed.

Diamond Holder

It’s vacuum based gem holder, consist suction pad, lead with tube and the vacuum pump which is an integrated design of the microscope. It allows users to hold and move diamond in all possible direction with out the view being obstructed. Moreover, conventional magnetic wire/plan type tweezer is also available

Optics

Stemi 508

Zeiss Germany make Stemi 508 is a compact, reliable and equipped with optics and mechanics designed for heavy workloads especially field of gemological applications, with the large 36 mm object field you always keep the overview of your sample. The 8:1 zoom then allows to bring details up to 50× magnification. You even have larger diamond? Add interchangeable optics and observe an area of up to 122 mm. Stemi 508 offers better ergonomics than any other Greenough type stereo microscope in the world. The low viewing angle of 35° lets you keep a relaxed posture even after hours of work

With Stemi 508 you can observe Diamond & GemStone with sharp in focus and free from distortion or colour fringes. Optic is available in binocular and trinocular format. With a trinocular type, the third lens hole can be connected to a digital camera, allowing you to make pictures of your stones.
