1 Introduction
The INX™ 760 Probe Microscope (INX 760 microscope) offers unparalleled efficiency in ensuring pristine single-
fiber, duplex-fiber, or multifiber connections.
Optimized for field use and VIAVI TPA™ (Test Process Automation) enabled, the INX 760 microscope enables
automation of every step of the inspection process, including test set up, tip configuration, image panning and
focus, end-face analysis testing, and data storage. Operators can either use the INX 760 microscope
autonomously or connect it to local devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or PCs, via USB or wireless connections
(see “Specifications and regulatory compliance” on page 1-2), with the VIAVI Mobile Tech app serving as the
bridge between the microscope and the cloud.
