Here counts the most important and difficult part of gemology, such as separating natural from synthetic gemstones inclusive of their imitations, artificial products and composites\u2026 not to forget opaque gemstones and organic materials such as pearls, coral, ivory etc.<\/p>\n<p>For a comfortable and diagnostic microscopic research, dark field microscopy showed too many limits. As being used to work in immersion liquids in order to research high RI gemstones without the burden of reflection on the facets, I designed a complete new classic gemological research station. Since my two and a half year old son showed the great interest in gemological microscopy, I decided to name it the Gem NULLAB 0.001. During the construction, I integrated most other classic gemological instruments using the same light source. This allows the station to have a smooth workflow without having to run from one equipment to the other, therefore preventing the loss of time.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) { \r\n\tjQuery( '#slider-pro-3-167' ).sliderPro({\r\n\t\t\/\/width\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 1000,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/height\r\n\t\t\t\tautoHeight: true,\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/auto play\r\n\t\t\t\tautoplay:  true,\r\n\t\tautoplayOnHover: 'none',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayDelay: 5000,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tarrows: true,\r\n\t\tbuttons: true,\r\n\t\tsmallSize: 500,\r\n\t\tmediumSize: 1000,\r\n\t\tlargeSize: 3000,\r\n\t\tfade: true,\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\/\/thumbnail\r\n\t\tthumbnailArrows: true,\r\n\t\tthumbnailWidth: 120,\r\n\t\tthumbnailHeight: 120,\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tthumbnailsPosition: 'bottom',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcenterImage: true,\r\n\t\timageScaleMode: 'cover',\r\n\t\tallowScaleUp: true,\r\n\t\t\t\tstartSlide: 0,\r\n\t\tloop: true,\r\n\t\tslideDistance: 5,\r\n\t\tautoplayDirection: 'normal',\r\n\t\ttouchSwipe: true,\r\n\t\tfullScreen: true,\r\n\t});\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<style>\r\n\/* Layout 3 *\/\r\n\/* border *\/\r\n#slider-pro-3-167 .sp-selected-thumbnail {\r\n\tborder: 4px solid #000000;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* font + color *\/\r\n.title-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #000000 !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n.desc-in  {\r\n\tfont-family: Arial !important;\r\n\tcolor: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n\topacity: 0.7 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* bullets color *\/\r\n.sp-button  {\r\n\tborder: 2px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-button  {\r\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - bottom *\/\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::before {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 5px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-selected-thumbnail::after {\r\n\tborder-bottom: 13px solid #000000 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* pointer color - top *\/\r\n\r\n\/* full screen icon *\/\r\n.sp-full-screen-button::before {\r\n    color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/* hover navigation icon color *\/\r\n.sp-next-arrow::after, .sp-next-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n.sp-previous-arrow::after, .sp-previous-arrow::before {\r\n\tbackground-color: #FFFFFF !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-167 .title-in {\r\n\tcolor: #000000 !important;\r\n\tfont-weight: bolder;\r\n\ttext-align: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#slider-pro-3-167 .title-in-bg {\r\n\tbackground: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);

It immediately showed great results with the advantage of the integrated horizontal immersion polariscopy. The Gem NULLAB 0.001 is constructed for continuous usage, made out of solid materials with superb accuracy. Due to its high precision construction, it is really a dream for most gemologists to work on such a station! The current version has everything onboard and is completely mobile. The station itself is under an ongoing process of refining for the next couple of years, as it will gradually be adapted to each need in specific researches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><u>Functions on the Gem Nullab 0.001<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eurogemology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Construction-gemological-labratory-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-164 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/eurogemology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Construction-gemological-labratory-6-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurogemology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Construction-gemological-labratory-6-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/eurogemology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Construction-gemological-labratory-6-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/eurogemology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Construction-gemological-labratory-6-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/eurogemology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Construction-gemological-labratory-6.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Gemological refractometer with high precision and easy readings.<br \/>\n&#8211; Horizontal and vertical immersion polariscopy with \u00bc wave retardation.<br \/>\n&#8211; Spectroscopy<br \/>\n&#8211; Dichroscope<br \/>\n&#8211; Compact density weighing<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Analogue and Digital Horizontal Immersion Microscopy<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u>Light Sources: <\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Through \u2013 Side \u2013 On light<\/li>\n<li>Top ring light (can also be used as dark field illumination)<\/li>\n<li>External dual fiber optic light<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Filters: <\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crossed polarizer\u2019s (With the possibility of dual parallel rotation.
