Large mobile gemstone laboratory KA52KRS

The premium, full-featured, portable gemstone lab

Ideally equipped for mobile gemmological use! You can use this fully equipped, portable gemmological laboratory, with precision optics, in an aluminium case from the Rimowa brand, anywhere in the world. It is totally flexible in its power offering – running on mains power (110-230V), it has an automatic voltage switch capability; in the event of reduced or no mains power it will switch to its integral rechargeable battery. The centerpiece is a gemstone stereo microscope, it has special features that are absolutely necessary for a professional gemmologist. The stronger the microscopic magnification and the better the optics, the more information is available for the reliable identification of gemstones. The integrated cold light sources offer excellent light intensity for Dark-field, transmitted and incident light illumination for diamond and gemstone examination. Also available in the laboratory: A refractometer for determining the refractive index, a Spectroscopes for stone diagnostics using Fraunhofer’s lines and bands, a dichroscope for the investigation of pleochroism and a polariscope for the rapid detection of common gemstone imitations. The entire mobile laboratory consists of:
