Idealscope images were not available when I inquired before purchasing the diamond, but I decided to take a chance, buy it anyway, and inspect with my own IS at home (I bought the $25 version). I have just received the diamond today and using the IS I have taken the following images using a white background on my iPhone (brightness turned up all the way) and through a clear plastic lid with a small hole punched in the center.
What does Pricescope think? It seems like a lot of leakage under the table but as newbie I'm not really sure if that's actually true or a result of my DIY Idealscope setup.
