Abstract
Some implementations include a changeable tip of a microscope system for testing an end face of an optical fiber. The changeable tip may include a tip housing having an optical fiber interface at a first end of the housing and configured to be coupled with the end face of the optical fiber and a device interface configured to be coupled with a tip connection interface of an opto-mechanical assembly of the microscope system. The changeable tip also may include at least one tip orientation indicator associated with the tip housing and configured to interact with a tip connection interface of the opto-mechanical assembly to cause a signal indicating tip orientation information associated with the changeable tip to be provided to the imaging device.
