Engraved gemstone viewer for personal communications devices

摘要

A gemstone viewer for personal communications devices for viewing a surface of a gemstone that has been micro or nano etched, engraved or embossed with an image or inscription such as an identification number. The viewer is mounted to employ the camera and LED light source of the personal communications device. The viewer directs the light from the light source as a light beam along a path incident to the surface of the gemstone containing the inscription. The gemstone spectrally reflects the light beam along a path back toward and through a magnifying lens to the camera lens of the personal communications device thereby enhancing the magnifying properties of the camera lens to produce a viewable light image that reveals the inscription on the viewing screen of the personal communications device.
