peterchristopher Rough Rock Total Posts: 42 Last Post: 11/6/2002 Member Since: 9/25/2002	I am pretty new to this process but have done some extensive internet research in the last 2 weeks. I'm intrigued by the better cuts such as H+A and EightStar. I believe that I have a pretty good understanding of the difference between the Hearts & Arrows viewer (which is limited to the crown facets) that you might get from WhiteFlash and the FireScope (which to my knowledge is not available to consumers). What I am not sure of, however, is where the Ideal Scope fits into the picture. How does the it compare to the other two Scopes? Does it measure all the facets like the FireScope? Thanks for your input.

This way you can see the arrows (crown) and hearts (pavilion) Firescope is used to visualize light return/leakage from the crown and asses the symmetry (arrows) as well. IdealScope has the same principle as the Firescope. Pricescope

IdealScope and Firescope are only used to examine the diamonds from the crown side. I.e. you only can see arrows. Keep in mind, i-scope and f-scope are used to assess the light return (or light leakage). Pricescope
