A handheld, affordable, computer aided, digital, fiber optic microscope for visualization, detection, and analysis of typical defects seen on the end faces of FO connectors and ferrules. With its high end optics, high resolution camera, and 2nd generation image processing software, the Fibr Scope III™ is well suited for automated imaging and detection of scratches, dirt, dust, and other contaminants that other non computer aided devices may miss. Suitable for higher volume assembly lines where a database can be created with notes and documentation on each device under tests. These devices are also called optical fiberscopes.
