A CLOSER LOOK
THE IMPORTANCE OF A MICROSCOPE
The Microscope allows us to see inside minerals. It is imperative that your Microscope have quality optics; they provide a crisp, clear view. The sharper your images, the more evident things appear. The Microscope is primary to all instruments.
Photomicroscopy is the art and science of capturing images on a microscopic level. This allows us to retrieve evidence in order to identify a gem and has proven successful in most cases.
It is extremely important to look through the entire gemstone, note any evidence as to its identity, and record it for further examination. Taking digital pictures makes it easier to communicate identification with others as well.
