Microscope and Light Leakage Detection

Carmel Cut Rock Total Posts: 201 Last Post: 11/18/2004 Member Since: 6/29/2004	Have any of you heard this rationale from a B&M store (note, I have): “You don’t need a fancy “IdealScope” (with an “air quotes” hand gesture acted out by the sales person) to see light leakage.” Then I was told that you could see light leakage by using the high-powered microscope. I asked to be shown the applied technique and was told that they didn't have a stone to show me right then. Huh. Odd, I thought. Guess I better study some more. Which one of us was ill-informed?

Carmel Cut Rock Total Posts: 201 Last Post: 11/18/2004 Member Since: 6/29/2004	Well, Cut Nut, that is some fierce competition. Why the hey didn’t you think of that before you spent your money on research/patents/trademarks, etc? You call yourself an entrepreneur? Maybe I can become an IdealScope distributor/rep. Who do I talk to? And if I do, it would be appropriate to be supplied with a couple of rather large diamonds because jewelers often don’t have a stone of their own to look at.
