Description

The hand dichroscope makes pleochroism perfectly recognizable

Dichroscopes are used for the investigation of transparent stones. Depending on how the light rays differ in color, the object can be assigned certain properties with regard to its crystal structure. Our dichroscopes display the material brightly and sharply. The device works via a calcite crystal; the light coming from the stone is split into two adjacent, perpendicularly polarised beams. The device is particularly helpful for stones with only weakly pronounced pleochroism.

Pleochroism analysis with the dichroscope

Experience how the dichroscope, in combination with a cold light source, enables fast and precise gemstone identification – and helps to separate genuine natural stones from deceptively similar imitations. You can find various dichroscope models in the KRÜSS store.
