Overview
This advanced course is an introduction into spectroscopy using the GL Gem Spectrometer and GL Gem Raman PL532 system; participants are expected to have a basic understanding of spectroscopy and its application for gemmology.
- Using PowerPoint presentations the development and use of advanced spectrometers is introduced.
- Learning step-by-step testing method for the GL Gem Spectrometer and use of the GLGemRaman software and searchable database.
- Practical testing of a number of interesting gem materials by the participants under supervision of the workshop facilitator; most up-to-date information on synthetic diamonds including CVD, HPHT and irradiation treatments and their detection.
- Prerequisite: previous practical experience with spectroscope/spectrometer and good understanding of the theoretical aspects of spectroscopy (please contact us for admission requirements).
- Limited to 4 participants; download course flyer (PDF).
