OPTICAL INSPECTION DEVICE

摘要

A hand-held optical inspection device for checking, for example, the accuracy of the end surfaces of a fibre optic cable to be joined together. A body portion of the device is arranged to accept any of a range of adapter components capable of engaging in a variety of cable connector terminals. The cable and the adapter component are then snap-fitted into a centering ring of the inspection device with the end surface of the cable in the focussing plane of the lenses of the device. The surface may be inspected and may be moved laterally in the focussing plane by an eccentric cam arrangement operating on the centering ring.
