Scientific Methodology

Diamond Testing Methods.

Spectroscopy (FTIR)

Infrared absorption spectroscopy identifies the precise nitrogen and boron impurities within the crystal lattice, crucial for determining diamond type (Type Ia, IIa, IIb) and detecting synthetic origins.

Photoluminescence (PL)

Super-cooled photoluminescence utilizes deep UV lasers to excite the diamond's atomic structure, revealing hidden defects and exposing advanced HPHT color treatments.

Advanced Microscopy

High-magnification darkfield microscopy paired with 3D scanning allows our master gemologists to meticulously plot external blemishes and internal inclusions with absolute accuracy.

The Arsenal

Laboratory Equipment.

Human expertise is only as good as the tools that support it. DIF is equipped with the industry's most sophisticated and sensitive gemological hardware, ensuring flawless screening of CVD and HPHT synthetics.

01

DiamondView™

Produces surface fluorescence images to identify growth patterns indicative of synthetic origins.

02

EXA™ Spectrometer

Natural diamond screening device measuring exact UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectrums.

03

Sarin Proportion

Automated 3D non-contact optical scanning for flawless cut, symmetry, and proportion grading.

04

Raman Laser System

Identifies inclusions and treatments by analyzing the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light.
