This is another new edition of the microscope that I have used for the past 21 years, and to shoot all of the microphotographs for YourGemologist.com. It was originally sold by GIA Gem Instruments but is now available on YourGemologist.com at a price that will make this the best microscope buy you will find. This model offers a greater magnification than the GemT-2. Up to 80x and that is included at this price.

It features:

• A binocular stereo vision turret with 1x and 4x objectives that, when used with the 10x eye pieces, gives you 10x and 40x power magnification.  
• Also included (very important) are 20x eye pieces that allow you to go from 20x to 80x power. Higher than any of the more expensive microscopes.
• Wide Field Viewing! This is what makes these microscopes stand out from anything on the market...wide field viewing. This is the size of the field of vision that you have to work with, which is one of the most important aspects you should consider when buying a microscope. This is where most of the cheaper microscopes are very, very poor, and what the more expensive scopes fail to offer.
• Dark Field Illumination with iris diaphragm.
• Fluorescent Day Light Overhead Light
• Reclining stand with 220 v or 110v power supply
• Gemstone holder
• The only Limited Lifetime Warranty offered for any gemological microscope.
