Simco FMX-002 Electrostatic Fieldmeter
The is an older, professional-grade handheld instrument designed for measuring electrostatic fields and surface charges . While it has largely been succeeded by the FMX-003 and FMX-004 , it remains a reliable tool for industrial and laboratory environments where simple, accurate static assessment is required.
