Instrument Capabilities

Automated Feed: No
Automated Results: No
Automated Dispense: No
Detect or Refer (Synthetic Diamonds): Detect
Detect or Refer (Diamond Simulants): N/A
Multiple Stones at Once: No
Training Required: Yes, including familiarisation with a DiamondView image library

DiamondView displays images and based on visual analysis the operator concludes the nature of the stones. The following results can be concluded by the operator based on the data generated:

1. Diamond
2. Synthetic diamond

An experienced user can judge whether the stone under test is a natural or synthetic diamond. In very few cases additional measurements may need to be carried out.
