Fiber Optic Inspection Scopes & Microscopes

Fiber optic inspection scopes encompass two different types of tools. The first is used in the datacom and telecommunications industries and consists of microscopes which are used to inspect terminated fiber optic cables. This is done in order to inspect the splice point to detect defects which could cause signal loss. They are typically incorporated into fusion splicers and used in conjunction with a display screen for this purpose. Also included in this category are video inspection tools such as those produced by Snap-on. These are primarily used for industrial and automotive internal inspection applications

The second type takes the form of flexible fiberscopes or borescopes which are used for peering into otherwise inaccessible areas. Their flexibility and versatility allows for a great number of applications. Their most common use is the internal inspection of aircraft and automobile engines. They are also quite often used for general machinery inspection in industrial environments. More full-featured inspection solutions such as those offered by Snap-on offer advanced capabilities including wireless viewing and video recording/playback.

Yet another variant of this type of flexible inspection scope is the endoscope which is used in the medical profession for the internal inspection of bodies.
