What is the current state of the art professional digital microphotography installation available gemstones image?

I gemstone pictures and want to know what is the most advanced digital microphotography system available to photograph these issues more difficult to the highest quality. I am currently using a Nikon Coolpix camera attached to one eyepiece of a Leica microscope. Main drawbacks are a great difficulty in nicks criticism concentration of small spots / on the rocks, because it is carried out focusing on grain 1.5-inch LCD screen on the camera. Another drawback is unidirectional lighting bolt from the light source on the microscope stage I think I need 360 degrees of diffuse illumination, otherwise some parts of the stone are color light by installing today. I've experimented with other light sources, such as pipe type illuminators, but are too strong and create access points in the stones. What is the ideal source of light – I think that should be disseminated and 360 degrees around the stone. I am looking for a dedicated system in the camera ideal, scope and light system are made by the same manufacturer.

I have had much success using a low-cost digital camera and a lens of printers. Actually, it's just a question optics. For a light source, I would suggest a light diffuser and the illumination of 360 degrees. With a diffuser, you can vary the light intensity without losing the angle lighting. BTW, I threw coins, precious stones, but I managed to get the coins to cover the entire visible area of a 4MP shot with only the camera and a 10X magnifying glass. who picked up the flaws in the currency were not seen with the naked eye. For the right price, can have a whole in a system built for you. It would very interesting to build one.
