Microscopes for professional engraving and stone setting

When working on precision tasks such as stone setting, hand engraving, or quality control, a stable microscope is indispensable. At Aktiv Guld, you will find microscopes that combine powerful optics with ergonomic stands and flexible adjustment options, allowing you to work sharply and comfortably – even during long sessions.

A microscope provides the necessary magnification, depth of field, and stability to ensure you can both see and execute even the smallest details in metal. Together with a gravørkugle or a BenchMate system, the microscope creates an optimal workstation for modern jewelers and engravers.

Precision work with maximum control

With a stereo or zoom microscope, you get high resolution, excellent depth of field, and generous working distance. This provides a three-dimensional view of your work area, allowing you to perform precision tasks with maximum control.

The most professional microscopes include features such as:

• Zoom magnification (typically 6:1 or 9:1)
• Large working distance to accommodate tools and hands
• Ergonomic stand adjustable to your working posture
• LED illumination providing a uniform, shadow-free work surface
• Integrated camera (on selected models) for teaching, documentation, and live viewing

This makes the microscope a central tool for professionals who do not compromise on precision.

Choosing the right microscope

When selecting a microscope, consider:

• Magnification and zoom range: Do you mostly work with pavé, micro settings, or larger details?
• Ergonomics: Do you need built-in head support, flexible arms, or extra-large working distance?
• Optical quality: How important is depth of field, resolution, and color accuracy for your tasks?
• Accessories: Do you need a camera, extra lenses, or document holders?

At Aktiv Guld, you will find microscopes at different levels – from robust all-round models to advanced systems for specialized tasks.

Precision work for the future – from loupe to advanced optics

Where previously magnifying glasses and work lamps were used, the microscope has now become standard in modern jewelry workshops. It provides better control, higher efficiency, and significantly less strain on eyes, neck, and shoulders.

Especially in micro-engraving, pavé setting, luxury watches, and series production, the microscope has become a central tool – making both the results and workflow more precise and stable.
