LED SYSTEM. The GEMLAB LEDscope is the first microscope of its kind built specifically for gemological applications. The LEDscope was designed by Ted Themelis, a veteran in gemological instrumentation since 1979, using revolutionary, energy efficient, highly reliable, ultra compact Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) having considerable advantages over the conventional light. LEDs are made from premium semiconductor parts having life expectancy 100,000 hours. The LEDscope never gets hot because LEDs are virtually heatless, without producing the familiar yellow tinge commonly in other microscopes. The LEDscope's digital lighting system is designed, configured and assembled in two separate modular electronic printed circuit boards (PCB), without transformer or other mechanical parts. The LEDscope is virtually maintainance free because there are no bulbs or other parts to replace. The LED system provides electrically noise-free, stable, free of spikes and flickers lighting environments, substantially reducing the eye fatigue.

MICROSCOPE BASE: Ergonomically designed aluminum casted, low-profile, slick base with swivel mechanism is equipped with a tilted mechanism with mechanical lock for most comfortable position tha allow he gemologist to work for hours wihtout posture fatique. The base is ergonomically designed, occupying minimum desk space (only 18 x 28 cm), thus providing extra workspace for the gemologist. The microscope base is painted white, the roatating plate in black.

FOCUSING MECHANISM: WE DO NOT SUPPLY THE FOCUSING ARM and RACK & PINION MECHANISM. It has to provided and fitted in the stage by the client. We only sell the base.

DARK FIELD ILLUMINATION: The dark field effect is achieved using 32 high-intensity LED's with color temperature of 5500°K-6000°K; variable intensity control produce superb lighting environment.

OVERHEAD ILLUMINATION: Two types of reflected LED illumination are provided, both housed in drum-type overhead adjustable fixture: a) daylight with color temp. of 5500°K-6000°K and b) long wave ultraviolet (390nm) illumination. The intensity of either LED type is controlled with a variable dimmer, and it is indicated by a dual-function pilot light (red for daylight, green for UV).

INCIDENT ILLUMINATION: Two incident LED light assemblies are provided (color temp. of 5500°K-6000°K) and may be used as light source for pinpoint illumination, dichroscope, refractometer and microphotography. Each incident LED is equipped with a built-in ON/OFF switch fixed to to a self-supported gooseneck arm and fitted into one of the two USB plug & play ports. This type of incident LED illuminates the gem in any position, thus eliminating the need for the traditional transmitted light.

GEM HOLDER: Innovative wire gemstone tweezers set on magnetic post. The wire tweezers are placed effordesly on either side for maximum manipulation of the gemstone being examined.

POWER (MAINS): Auto voltage (110-220Vac) plug and cord is located opposite to the gemologist’s sitting position. The LEDscope can be used anywhere in the world without adapters.
