SMX-QS04 is a high-end blue light interferometer with high resolution for inspection of single fiber connectors (ST, FC, SC, LC, MU, APC), SMA and other connectors.

Interferometer’s compact size is ideal for facilities with limited bench space. The device is portable and can operate on internal rechargeable battery for two hours.
The objective is built integrated inside the stage, which provides extreme
vibration resistance. No vibration damping table is needed and device can work in a noisy manufacturing or repair facility.
SMX-QS04 features autofocus with long range, which simplifies and speeds up the measurement procedure.
