JDSU FBP-PX100 Video inspection QuickCapture probe microscope, NTSC, 200X, 6-pin out w/o USB/barrel

The JDSU FBP-PX100 is a video inspection probe microscope engineered for detailed examination of fiber optic connectors and optical devices. Delivering NTSC video output at 200X magnification, this handheld instrument provides clear visualization of fiber end faces with approximately 550 μm horizontal field-of-view. A 1/3-inch CMOS sensor paired with internal blue LED illumination (>100,000 hour lifespan) and coaxial lighting geometry enables precise connector inspection in confined spaces.

The integrated QuickCapture™ button captures images directly to compatible JDSU display units or PC platforms via USB conversion.
