Take your old GEMOLITE microscope to a new level

The good old GEMOLITE by GIA is a true classic and has been around for many years. Especially for the older series (+15 years) we noticed two possible problems:

  • They tend to get hot at the base which can make it quite uncomfortable working with them over a longer time.
  • Also the yellowish light from the incandescent lamp can make your eyes fatigue and exhaust your brain quickly.

Therefore we developed a set to upgrade your old GEMOLITE without having to buy a whole new microscope unit! Keep the good old American Optical or Bausch & Lomb optical system and place it onto the base of our renowned GEMMASTER microscope. Upgrading is easily done - all you need is a screw driver.

Upgrading your old GIA GEMOLITE microscope is done in seconds

Upgrading is easy!

  • Take your GEMOLITE and unmount the column and optical system from the base.
  • Mount column and optical system onto the GEMMASTER base.
  • Done!

Benefit from GEMMASTER's characteristics

Darkfield illuminator

Darkfield illuminated by high-intensity discharge lamp, equivalent to 35 Watt halogen lamp. Delivers 50,000 Lux to the stage. Change from dark-field to bright-field by turning blind-knob.

Cool-Touch® cold light

Despite the high lighting power the Cool-Touch® technology makes sure the microscope basis stays cool. Unlike other microscopes the temperature at the stage never exceeds 25°C/77°F.

Colours of light

Different gemstones need different light:

  • Diamonds: daylight 6,000 Kelvin (included)
  • Coloured stones: neutral-white 4,000 Kelvin (optional)

For comparison: a tungsten/incandescent lamp has about 3,000 Kelvin.

Diffuse light

The non-focal light source of the dark-field illuminator delivers very smooth and diffuse light to the specimen. No additional diffuser necessary.

Dimming

Turning knob for electronic dimming the dark-field light source. Iris diaphragm for adjusting the amount of light.

Electronics for flicker-free light.

Flickerfree light

"Electronic Comfort Light" technology provides added features such as

  • flickerfree light - for relaxed eyes and less exhaustion
  • quickstart without jittering
  • longer lamp life (+50%)

LED pin-pointer (USB)

High-intensity LED pin-pointer for the USB port. 6,000 Kelvin daylight colour on gooseneck arm.

USB ports

One USB port on each side of the microscope stage for LED pin-pointers or other USB peripherals. Provides power only, no data connection.

Overhead daylight source

Daylight of 6,000 Kelvin mounted on 3D-joint for adjustment on three axes.

Magnetic-Click® stoneholder

Smart stoneholder for comfortable positioning of specimen, mountable on six magnetic ball sockets around the microscope stage.

Tilting stage

The whole stage can be tilted for adjustment to the most comfortable position for the viewer.

Rotating base

Swivel allows whole microscope to rotate on 350° for easy and comfortable positioning.

Worldwide voltages supported

Electronic digital power supply operatable in worldwide power networks with 100-240V. Plug adaptors for all EURO/GB/US socket systems.
