You are right! They sell them, but not in this kit. http://eshop.agil.com.hk/index_ecat.php?cPath=3_2 By the way I have no experience or affiliation with this stuff. Just read about it in the latest Gem-A publication. |

Slightly off-topic, but I have to ask: I never heard of using a handheld spectroscope to observe a fluorescence spectrum. In which cases would that be useful (and at which uv wavelength)? |

You'll have to address that questions to the manufacturer of the set. Let us know. |

I am curious about that as well, but given the natire of the kit it is likely just a mistake on their end, and a normal uv light. I hate to say it but the kit seems kins of expensive for what you get. You could likely source each component on eBay new and spend less, and you really would want to get a refractometer. |

I bought one of these on ebay as I use UV (but not for gemmology, yet). It is a beautifully made instrument and after this suggestion I will see if it is of value in gem ID. |
