Abstract
The invention relates to an optical zooming system for use on fusion splicers. The system may include a lens, camera, and a zooming mechanism, which allows the camera and the lens to move relative to each other. The zooming mechanism may be set to a 'zoom out' configuration for aligning the cores of fibers. The zooming mechanism may also be set to a 'zoom in' configuration for adjusting fibers with a large diameter.
