Westover FVIW Bench Scope

 

The FVIW Series microscopes utilize coaxial illumination to provide the user with a critical view of fine scratches, making them the ideal choice for factory post-polish, component assembly, and QC inspection of fiber connectors. The FVIW systems incorporate an attached 9” or 12” monitor that is inclined backward 22.5º. These units also include a 2.5mm universal adapter for viewing the most common types of connectors. Additional adapters can be purchased separately. The FVIW workstations incorporate the new ScratchView™ feature. In the normal viewing mode defects and debris are easily seen across the end-face, but pressing the ScratchView button on the front of the microscope allows the user to repeatably see very faint scratches that are otherwise very difficult to detect.

Westover FV/FVW Bench Scope

All FV series scopes are bench-top video microscopes designed for inspecting patch cords and ferrules just after polishing. They are available in several magnifications. In general the “400x” models are used after polishing to inspect for fine defects incurred during the polishing or cleaning process. The “200x” models are most commonly used to inspect for cleanliness during system assembly or test, prior to mating connectors.

Westover FVD Digital Bench Scope

The FVD series is optically similar to the FV series but uses a high resolution digital camera over which our software maintains low level control.
Upon triggering the image capture button, the system uses the large format digital sensor to search a wide area to find the glass fiber. Once found, it captures a full resolution image over a smaller area that is centered exactly on the fiber. The low magnification image is analyzed separately from the high magnification image to provide exacting examination on, and near, the glass fiber but still evaluating a wider area for larger debris and damage.
