Examining Diamonds and Precious Stones: Harnessing FTIR Spectroscopy

The compact and durable Bruker Optics ALPHA, through FTIR spectroscopy, emerges as a crucial asset in gemological evaluations. Utilizing the “diffuse reflectance” technique, it offers an all-encompassing and straightforward method for gemstone assessment. Moreover, FTIR is pivotal in gemology to differentiate synthetic emeralds or lead glass-treated rubies from their genuine counterparts.

The FTIR microscope, LUMOS, adeptly examines minute stones set in jewelry, even if they’re nestled closely together. LUMOS is distinguished by its complete automation, user-friendliness, impeccable infrared spectroscopic performance, and clear sample visualization.

Additionally, the high-throughput-screening accessory (HTS-XT) is engineered to seamlessly measure and categorize a vast array of diamonds in an automated fashion.
