1. New liquid cell design for measuring fine fibers down to 60/100 μm
2. Measure double coatings - suitable for many standard and specialty fibers
3. Fiber can be rotated in up to 36 different radial positions for accurate measurement of coating concentricity and non-circularity
4. Standards compliant - uses the side-view reference test method described in IEC-60793-1-21
