This Milliscope II Fiberscope setup guide is kept as a useful legacy resource for operators who still need to understand the older Zibra Milliscope II connection workflow. The original setup used a fiberscope, backend, CCD camera, light source, and PC software to display live inspection video on a computer.
The Milliscope II Fiberscope is a retired product page, and We suggest Milliscope HD as the recommended replacement. This article remains helpful for education, older setup reference, and users who still work with Milliscope II style equipment.
The Milliscope II setup sequence was simple: thread the backend onto the USB camera, connect the backend to the bayonet-style fiberscope fitting, connect the light guide to the light source, plug the USB camera into the PC, and open the viewing software.

What Was Included in the Milliscope II Setup?
The original Milliscope II setup article listed five main components: the fiberscope, backend, CCD camera, light source, and PC software. Together, these pieces allowed users to connect the scope to a camera, illuminate the inspection area, and view the image on a PC.
Legacy Milliscope II Setup Steps
The original setup instructions were short and practical. The goal was to connect the backend, camera, fiberscope, light source, and viewing software in the correct order.
Thread the backend onto the USB camera before connecting the fiberscope.
Connect the backend to the bayonet-style fitting on the fiberscope.
Connect the light guide to the light source, plug the USB camera into the PC, and open the viewing software.
Current Milliscope II Paths: Rental or Retired Product Reference
AIT still has useful product paths for readers who land on this older setup guide. The Milliscope II Fiberscope Rental page is useful for rental-related guidance, while the Milliscope II Fiberscope page explains that the product has been retired and points users toward the recommended Milliscope HD replacement.
The article is still useful for understanding older Milliscope II connection and focus workflow.
The rental path is better when the user needs a temporary small diameter fiberscope solution.
The retired product page helps explain what the Milliscope II was and why users should confirm current replacement options.
The current Milliscope HD Fiberscope is the recommended replacement path for small diameter fiberscope inspection.
If the image is unclear after setup, check the light source, confirm the target is within the working depth of field, and adjust the focus ring on the backend before assuming the fiberscope or camera is faulty.
