Would You Care To Take A Look?

This is my American Optical binocular microscope. The magnification range is 10x-120x. 10x is the standard magnification for diamond and gemstone grading. High magnification is often needed for conclusive gem identification.
I use this microscope in my work daily and also share interesting views with my clients. I like to reveal the fascinating world of internal gemstone inclusions. One of my favorites, when I encounter one; is a lily-pad like inclusion in Peridot. It really looks like a lily-pad!
