Coaxial Illumination C Series: Coaxial illumination for precision optical performance Westover's FM-C series field micrsocopes provide the highest image quality available when inspecting fiber terminations in the field. Coupled with its rugged design, pristine optical performance, and integrated laser safety filters, the C-Series delivers true optical performance at an affordable price. All Westover Field Microscopes are hand-held inspection tools that will provide years of service, true optical performance, and laser safety. Their design incorporates an LED that provides 100,000 hrs. of lamp life and extends battery life. The C-Series features coaxial illumination, which provides the most critical view of fiber end faces. This renders scratches highly visible and is the clear choice for field termination in sensitive installations. The image quality, durability, and ease of use is second to none. There is no better tool available on the market. The C-Series is available in 100x, 160x, 200x, 320x, or 400x magnifications. It comes with a universal 2.5mm adapter (ST, SC, and FC connectors).

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 our
“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 FV systems have become the industry standard because they
deliver crystal clear imaging of fine defects. These systems include a
valuable feature not found anywhere else in the industry. When
depressed, our ScratchView button implements a specialized contrast
enhancement algorithm over the surface of the glass fiber. This filter
makes fine defects readily detectable and dramatically reduces the need
for extensive training of technicians. Using this feature can help cut
down on disputes between vendors and customers as both sides will see
every defect.
It should be noted that we have taken liberty with the magnification
values stated with these models. Actual magnification is dependent on
monitor size and can be determined using the technical bulletin linked
below.
Westover Scientific occupies an enormous market share in bench-top
video inspection. We have accomplished this by providing rugged, simple
microscopes that deliver a superior level of detail than microscopes 10
times the cost. While this claim may seem exceptional, we invite you to
compare our FV series to any on the market. Like most process engineers
in the world, we are sure you’ll find the value unmatched.
The FVW series is our modular system, where the video microscope is
separate from the monitor. This allows the user to place the monitor on
a shelf while the scope is on the bench. It also helps us keep the cost
of the system down, and enables the user to choose their own monitor if
they prefer. The FV- prefix items include the microscope, power supply,
video cable, and universal 2.5mm adapter. The FVW- prefix items include
all of the FV- contents in addition to a monitor of specified size.


But at what
price? Many manufacturers offer you high efficiency - with expensive
equipment. But how long before that equipment cost pays for itself? Do
I
really need it?
Now we brings you a simple solution. We'll increase your inspection
speed without high priced equipment!
The Video Fiber Microscope delivers a crisp
clear image
of ferrule ends quickly and comfortably.
The
concept is not new, but our price will change everything. $675.00 gets
you a complete system: the inspection box, the monitor, and a universal
(FMA-U25) adapter.
System
Configuration - To
build a system you'll need 3 items:
| 1. A Video Unit includes box, power supply and video cable. | 2. A Monitor. The 12" provides the best viewing, while the 9" saves space. | 3. An Adapter. For best speed, we recommend the "slip-grip" universal adapters. |

The FVDW series are our dual integrated workstations. These units
feature a microscope base attached below the monitor. This integration
saves space on the table and eliminates cumbersome cables. In the base,
we incorporate two patch cord microscopes with an A/B switch to select
which image is displayed on the monitor. These units are popular for a
number of reasons. Some users prefer dual workstations because it
allows them to insert one type of adapter on the left side and a
different one on the right side (ie: Universal 1.25 vs. Universal 2.5,
MTP vs. SC, etc.). This reduces the time to inspect as you do not have
to change adapters frequently.
Other users prefer dual workstations because they can choose a 200x
system on the left and a 400x system on the right. This allows for
precision inspection of the glass followed by a wide-field inspection
of the contact zone for contamination.

Probe Tips for Use with FBP Systems

Grade Probes
FBP
series probe scopes revolutionized the industry
by providing a
compact design that fits in the palm of your hand, rugged drop-tested
performance, and precision tips that positively mate with the interface
device so the fiber is easy to locate and examine. Competitive designs
utilize poorly conceived tips and require extensive user training
before they can be used in service. A complete inspection system
requires a probe (video microscope), a tip suitable for the connector
you are inspecting, and a display. Over the years our product line has
grown to offer many choices for probes, displays and tips.
The FBP series is the industry standard and occupies a massive market
share due to its proven overall performance. Our most common model
features dual magnification with a quick change magnification wheel
that requires only a touch of refocus when changing magnification.
Value priced single-magnification models are also available.
FBP probes available in either 4-pin or 6-pin versions. The 6-pin
models include a quick capture button that, when used in conjunction
with a 6-pin USB module, allow for single-handed operation with a PC.

Reach Probes for Optical Backplane
Inspection

As
system capacities have increased, optical
connectors have
proliferated in backplane applications. Increasingly, those connectors
are ribbon ferrule based. The FBP3 series is purpose-built for reaching
between adjacent cards/modules to reach optical connectors in the
backplane. Westover's patented ribbon drive is integrated into many
configurations and provides the industry's only practical solution for
backplane ribbon inspection. We also offer simplex tips when applicable.
While we offer a large assortment of backplane interface tips, we find
ourselves frequently designing custom tips for given applications. This
is a service we offer and welcome all inquiries.
| FBP3-P3L |
The FBP3-P3L is a long-reach backplane probe that is designed to inspect connectors that are otherwise difficult to access. It can fit down a channel less than 1" wide and accommodates all standard "FBPT" series inspection |
