NATO Supply Class 6650 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.
NATO Supply Class 6650 specifically focuses on Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components, and Accessories. This class includes a wide range of instruments and equipment used for optical testing, measurement, and analysis.
Some examples of items that fall under NATO Supply Class 6650 include:
1. Optical microscopes: These are used for magnifying and examining small objects or samples.
2. Spectrometers: These instruments are used to measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, allowing for the analysis of materials and substances.
3. Optical filters: These are used to selectively transmit or block certain wavelengths of light, allowing for precise control of light in optical systems.
4. Optical lenses: These are used to focus or manipulate light in optical systems.
5. Optical fibers: These are used for transmitting light signals over long distances, commonly used in telecommunications and data transmission.
6. Optical sensors: These devices are used to detect and measure light, often used in scientific research or industrial applications.
7. Optical test equipment: This includes a variety of instruments used for testing and calibrating optical systems, such as optical power meters, optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs), and optical spectrum analyzers.
8. Optical accessories: This category includes various components and accessories used in conjunction with optical instruments, such as lens cleaning kits, mounting brackets, and adapters.
It's important to note that NATO Supply Class 6650 is just one of many classes within NATO Supply Group 66. Each class represents a specific category of instruments and equipment used in laboratories and other scientific settings.

Includes Binoculars; Magnifiers; Microscopes; Periscopes; Telescopes; Optical Elements; such as Lens, Prisms, Windows; Optical Benches and Associated Devices; Endoscopes, Fiber Optics (Non-Medical).

Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 6650
- What is a Refractometer? 12 Items
- A Refractometer is an instrument for determining the refractive index of a substance, by means of a ray of light passing obliquely from one medium into another of different density, or by the change in direction of the flow of an electric current when it passes from one medium to another of different conductivity or of other differing electric qualities. Excludes SPECTROSCOPE (as modified).
- What is a Straight Telescope? 16 Items
- A Straight Telescope (TELESCOPE,STRAIGHT) is a telescope whose line of vision is 180 degrees from the eye.
- What is a Binocular? 49 Items
- A Binocular is a hand held optical instrument consisting of two telescopes on a common mounting adapted for stereoscopic use of both eyes of the user. The item may be designed for accommodation of prismatic devices.
- What is a Magnifier? 102 Items
- A Magnifier is a viewing device which increases the apparent size of an object. It may consist of a mounted or unmounted simple or compound lens, or an assembly of lenses which may be arranged in various combinations. It may have a handle, stand, clamp, or similar means of manipulation or securing. With the exception of the MAGNIFIER of a dissecting microscope, this item is not part of any other item, although it may be an accessory. See also MICROSCOPE, OPTICAL.
- What is an Optical Microscope? 121 Items
- An Optical Microscope (MICROSCOPE,OPTICAL) is an optical instrument used as an assistance to the eye or camera in viewing or photographing minute close objects. The essential parts of a microscope comprise an optical system consisting of separate objective and ocular lens assemblies which provide greater magnifications than can be obtained with a single lens assembly. Excludes MAGNIFIER.
- What is a Microscope Light? 17 Items
- A Microscope Light (LIGHT,MICROSCOPE) is a device which illuminates, and may show in relief, objects viewed through a microscope.
- What is a Spectrophotometer? 54 Items
- A Spectrophotometer is an item which combines a spectrometer and a photometer as a unit. It is used to measure light intensity.
- What is a Lens Cap? 12 Items
- A Lens Cap (CAP,LENS) is a cap designed to conform to the general shape of a lens.
- What is a Borescope? 25 Items
- A Borescope is a viewing device used to visually inspect items such as cannon bores, internal combustion engine cylinder walls, propellant perforations of rocket motors or similar items, for defects of manufacture, corrosion, scars, erosion, etc., without the necessity of disassembling the item(s). It may or may not have extension tubes to cover the various ranges of inspection. The item is basically a straight-tube telescope using a mirror or prism.
- What is an Optical Instrument Prism? 19 Items
- An Optical Instrument Prism (PRISM,OPTICAL INSTRUMENT) is a transparent item with at least two polished plane surfaces inclined toward each other, designed for use in optical instruments to reflect and/or refract a beam of light. It may have one or more mirrored surfaces for greater reflection. Includes optical wedges used to divert paths of light by refraction, but to a lesser degree. See also BEAM SPLITTER, OPTICAL INSTRUMENT.
- What is an Optical Instrument Lens? 129 Items
- An Optical Instrument Lens (LENS,OPTICAL INSTRUMENT) is an unmounted, transparent, color free lens which may be treated with a low reflection coating to increase light transmission. Includes single and compound elements. For items having two plane parallel surfaces, see WINDOW, OPTICAL INSTRUMENT. Excludes RETICLE, OPTICAL INSTRUMENT.
- What is an Optical Instrument Eyepiece Assembly? 12 Items
- An Optical Instrument Eyepiece Assembly (EYEPIECE ASSEMBLY,OPTICAL INSTRUMENT) is an optical system consisting of two or more lenses secured within a cylindrical sleeve. It is the component of an optical instrument nearest the eye of the observer when sighting. The distance between lenses is maintained by an optical element spacer. It usually has focusing facilities and may include a reticle, filter, and/or diopter scale.
- What is an Optical Instrument Cell Assembly? 12 Items
- An Optical Instrument Cell Assembly (CELL ASSEMBLY,OPTICAL INSTRUMENT) is an item consisting of a CELL, OPTICAL ELEMENT in which is secured one or more optical elements, such as lenses, reticles, filters, windows, and the like.

It may include padding to protect the instrument against shock and vibration. Excludes CASE (2), SURVEYING INSTRUMENT.
- What is an Optical Instrument Beam Splitter? 10 Items
- An Optical Instrument Beam Splitter (BEAM SPLITTER,OPTICAL INSTRUMENT) is a transparent optical element designed to divide a beam of light by reflection and transmission into two or more beams.
- What is a Diffraction Grating Spectrometer? 17 Items
- A Diffraction Grating Spectrometer (SPECTROMETER,DIFFRACTION GRATING) is a spectrometer incorporating a diffraction grating for the dispersion of light. The item is used for the spectrochemical analysis of metals, nonmetallic substances, and fluids. It may be equipped with indicators to permit direct reading of the analytical results.
