A microscope can be found in most photography stores,
or can be obtained through or specialist mail order
companies. Special fiber-scopes are available from
suppliers of splicing equipment.
Light source Ideally, the light source on your microscope should be
very flexible. This will allow you to examine your device
closely and from different angles.
A microscope helps you to estimate the type and degree of
dirt on your device. You can use a microscope to choose
an appropriate cleaning method, and then to examine the
results. You can also use your microscope to judge
whether your optical device (such as a connector) is
severely scratched and is, therefore, causing inaccurate
measurements.
