Description
Volpi Fiber Optic Microscope Light Source Cable Dual Output Swiss Made 36.5"
This is a Swiss-made Volpi fiber optic light source cable with dual output arms and an extra single-tip arm. The cable splits at a central disk into two output arms for simultaneous bilateral illumination, making it compatible with Volpi Intralux and similar fiber optic illuminators used with stereo and inspection microscopes. The cable only — no light source or power supply is included.

Applications
Fiber optic light source cables like this Volpi assembly are standard accessories for stereo and inspection microscopes in laboratory, scientific, and industrial settings. They connect a central illuminator (such as a Volpi Intralux cold-light source) to the microscope stage, delivering bright, heat-free fiber optic illumination directly to the specimen. The dual-output configuration allows two branches to illuminate a sample from different angles simultaneously, which is common in stereo microscope setups for electronics inspection, biological dissection, gemology, and precision manufacturing. Volpi has manufactured fiber optic illumination equipment in Switzerland since the 1960s and their light guides remain in wide use in laboratory and industrial inspection environments today. The three-hole mounting disk allows the splitter to be fixed to a stand or fixture for hands-free positioning.
This Volpi fiber optic microscope light source cable is in good used condition with normal handling wear consistent with lab use. The gray armored cable jacket, splitter disk, and all ferrule tips appear intact with no cracking or breakage visible. Please note this cable does not include a light source or power supply — it is the cable assembly only. If you need a compatible light source, please contact us and we can check our current inventory. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
