Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If general optical telescopes or non-telecom lasers
Telescopic optical instruments exclude telecom test apparatus per note 4.
If for physical optical property measurement
Instruments for light/photographic properties in 9027, not signal testing.
