Fiber inspection tool
The purpose of this invention is to create a low cost, easy to use, fiber end face and or connector inspection tool component that easily adapts and converts most all mobile communication devices with camera, screen and software capabilities into a microscope. The invention encapsulates and holds firm a fiber connector body and or fiber connector bodies and or ferrule housing or ferrule housings for the purpose of viewing the cleanliness and quality of the fiber end face and or faces. A Fiber end face is the component area and or areas the embodies the fiber core and or fiber cores, fiber ferrule end and or ferrule ends and fiber related end component and or components that are instrumental in the mating with other like components with fiber connector plug end faces and or related optical fiber components for the purpose connectors and splices prior to connecting and or join optical fibers where a connect/disconnect capability is required.
