Optical Fiber Microscopes
GAO’s optical fiber microscopes are devices used to inspect and evaluate the quality of optical fiber connectors and end faces. Our optical fiber microscope typically consists of a microscope with high-magnification optics and a light source to illuminate the fiber.GAO’s optical fiber microscope is to help us detect any defects, contaminants, or damage on the end-faces of optical fiber connectors. By examining the connectors at high magnification using our testers, we can identify issues such as scratches, chips, dirt, or other contaminants that can affect the performance of the fiber connection.
GAO’s optical fiber microscopes are composed of a microscope, light source, connector adapter, display or eyepiece, image capture and analysis software, and power source.
The other common names of optical fiber microscopes are fiber optic inspection scopes, fiber optic inspection microscopes, optical inspection probes, fiber optic connector inspectors, fiber optic end face inspectors, fiber optic surface microscopes, fiber optic inspection tools, fiber end face viewers, fiber inspection cameras, optical fiber end face microscopes, fiber optic connector microscopes, fiber optic ferrule inspectors, and fiber optic patch cord inspectors.

GAO Tek’s optical fiber microscopes have the following functions:
- Inspection of Fiber Connectors: Our optical fiber microscope allow us to inspect and evaluate the quality of optical fiber connectors. We can examine the end-faces of fiber connectors at high magnification using our microscopes, enabling us to detect defects, contaminants, or damage that may impact the fiber connection.
- Defect and Contaminant Detection: GAO's optical fiber microscopes help us identify various issues on the fiber end-faces, including scratches, chips, dirt, oil, or other contaminants. By detecting these defects, we can take appropriate corrective measures to ensure optimal performance of the fiber connection.
- Quality Assurance: Our optical fiber microscopes are used in our quality assurance processes. They allow us to verify the cleanliness and integrity of fiber connectors before installation or during regular maintenance, ensuring reliable and efficient optical fiber connections.
- Documentation and Reporting: Our optical fiber microscope equipped with image capture and analysis software enable us to document inspection results. We can capture and save images of the fiber end faces for record-keeping purposes. Additionally, our software offers analysis tools for measuring dimensions, assessing cleanliness, and generating detailed reports on the condition of the connectors.
- Facilitating Maintenance and Troubleshooting: GAO's optical fiber microscope can quickly identify and troubleshoot issues related to fiber connectors. If a connection is experiencing signal loss or performance degradation, the microscope tester can help us pinpoint the cause, such as dirty or damaged connectors, allowing for timely maintenance and restoration of optimal performance.
