Variscope 10x - 30x 'Stereo 83' Series Darkfield Gem & Jewelry Inspection Microscope

Great Features for High Quality Stereoscopic Imaging: This microscope is designed for high quality viewing of a wide range of specimens. This microscope is manufactured with an internally rotating dual 1x - 3x stereo objective made from premium ground optical glass. Used in conjunction with the included wide field 10x (20mm) stereo eyepieces, you can achieve magnifications of 10x and 30x right out of the box. We offer a range of optional eyepieces and objectives as well. With our optional 20x eyepieces, you can increase the magnification range to 20x & 60x.

Ideal for Gem, Diamond & Jewelry Grading! This microscope is ideal for inspecting and grading gemstones, jewelry and especially diamonds. 10x magnification is the global standard for professional diamond grading. The microscope comes with a gem and specimen tweezer clamp and a dark field condenser. The dark field condenser assures that any light emitted from the lower light source passes through the specimen for optimal viewing. That is, no light rays from the lower light source travel directly into the objective or your eye unless they pass through the specimen first. This enables you to view gemstones and other translucent objects without the visual distraction of ambient light entering your eye . . . only light that has passed through the gemstone will be visible to you.

Ultra-Comfort Ergonomic Microscope Design: This stereo microscope has ergonomic features to make your microscope viewing as comfortable as possible. The main microscope head sits at a comfortable 45 degree incline. The eyepieces sit in a gemel type assembly, allowing for maximum flexibility in adjusting the interpupillary distance. The left eyepiece holder includes an independently controlled diopter focusing adjustment, and molded rubber eyecups are provided for your comfort. The focusing knob is on both the right and left side of the scope allowing for easy adjustment with either the right or left hand. Change from 10x to 30x magnification simply by rotating the objective turret.

Built-In Dual Halogen Light Source: Don't get stuck with a tungsten light bulb. This microscope comes with a built-in upper and lower light source. You can toggle either the upper or lower light to illuminate both transparent and opaque specimens. Spare halogen bulbs are included with your microscope.

Reversible Specimen Plate, Dust Cover, and More! This microscope includes a plastic dust cover to keep your microscope in clean dust-free condition. The microscope comes with a frosted glass specimen holder and also a reversible black & white specimen plate.
