Claim 15:
16. A system for determining properties of at least one gemstone sample, the system comprising:
a light source system comprising one or more light sources configured and operable to generate illumination light in desired one or more wavelengths and intensities that excite at least one fluorescence reaction in the gemstone sample;
a holding stage configured to hold the at least one gemstone sample in an illumination zone covered by the illumination light;
a spectrometer located in a detection zone and configured and operable to detect at least one emission light emitted by the at least one gemstone sample and record corresponding at least one fluorescence-emission spectrum;
an imaging system configured and operable to acquire images of the gemstone sample;, and
a controller and analyzing system configured and operable to control the light source system, the holding stage, and the spectrometer, and analyze at least two of the following: the at least one fluorescence-emission spectrum, and at least one of the at least one absorbance spectrum and the images, to determine the properties of the gemstone sample;, wherein the controller and analyzing system comprises at least one of the following modules:
a fluorescence-signature extractor module configured and operable to analyze the at least one fluorescence-emission spectrum and generate at least one fluorescence-signature, then utilize the at least one fluorescence-signature to determine the properties of the gemstone sample;
a three-dimensional (3D) model builder module configured and operable to generate a 3D model of the gemstone sample, then utilize the 3D model to determine the properties of the gemstone sample; and
a fluorescence zone identifier module configure and operable to detect fluorescence zone(s) in the gemstone sample, while being illuminated with the at least one illumination light, and generate a fluorescence zone(s) map, then utilize the fluorescence zone(s) map to determine the properties of the gemstone sample.
