Ripley Introduces Its New Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope
New Microscope Comes in 200x and 400x Magnification Strengths

Cromwell, CT – Ripley’s Miller® division is pleased to introduce its new Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope with models available in either 200x or 400x magnification strengths.

The new Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope with achromatic glass objective provides excellent image quality and comes standard with a universal adapter that accommodates nearly all ST, SC and FC connector ferrules. Adapters for other connector types are available upon request.

The Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope utilizes a LED (light emitting diode) for illumination providing for up to 100,000 hours of lamp hour life and long battery life using three AAA cells, which are included. There is also a side illumination port which allows back lit inspection of jumpers and can also be used as a fault finder. The Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope utilizes coaxial illumination where light travels along the same axis as the fiber inserted into the microscope, allowing for a more detailed image showing even fine scratches and contaminants.

The new Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope is made of durable aluminum and comes in a soft padded storage case that protects the microscope when not in use.
