Is this an acceptable way to take an ideal scope image?

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to get some practice in with taking idealscope images. Is this the correct way or is backlight too bright? It’s a backlit white screen with a piece of paper on top.
Cheers!

Not bad at all Ian, You could use a bit more backlight behind the ring. With a different phone google youtube white screen and make sure the phones brightness is turned up. Zoom in a little more if you can and make sure the diamond lines up with the end of the pink plastic.

Thanks Garry! I’m getting two loose diamonds on Friday to compare so I want to make sure I’m taking the images correctly so I can seek PS help. Thanks for your advice

Down the bottom of this page - this is for ASET but Ideal-scope is the same but easier https://ideal-scope.com/how-to-use-ideal-scope-and-aset-scope/

Thanks Garry! Where do I get that glass diamond holder from that sits on top of the phone?

From the same website.
Should have ordered it when you got your scope

I live in Brisbane and it’s quoting me $21USD for shipping. Is there an Australian website?

Thanks Gary! I’ll see how I go on Friday and if I’m struggling I’ll order the glass holder
