GIA® UV Lamp & Viewing Cabinet

UV lamp output variation can significantly affect the fluorescence colour and intensity observed in diamond. This device utilises a very stable, narrowband UV LED (365 nm) whose output will not fluctuate over time compared to traditional mercury-based UV lamps. Fluorescence is an important factor in gem identification, and the GIA® UV Lamp and Viewing Cabinet provides the same evaluation environment used by GIA and includes a compact viewing enclosure and calibrated references for the intensity of blue fluorescence in diamond.

• Consistent, stable, long-life 365 nm LED provides narrow band UV illumination
• Compact desktop viewing cabinet provides a reproducible environment for observations
• Reference strip with four visual comparisons shows blue diamond fluorescence ranging from "None/Very Faint" to "Strong"
• Lamp and reference strip detach from the cabinet for handheld use
• One LED Bulb installed on pcb/circuit card
• Universal for global electrical compatibility. Plug configurations included for Australia, China, Europe, North America and the United Kingdom
• Temperature Colour: The GIA® UV Lamp and Viewing Cabinet (patent pending) provides a consistent longwave ultraviolet light source and viewing environment for observing fluorescence in diamonds and other gemstones, both loose and mounted in jewellery. An included reference block allows for easy visual categorisation of blue fluorescence from diamond into the four intensity categories reported on GIA laboratory reports
