Abstract

A visual inspection device and apparatus is disclosed for inspecting fiber ends of a connector by capturing an image of the connector end face, and implementing an image analysis tool for detecting contamination from the captured image. The visual inspection tool includes components for providing a larger field of view to capture the entire connector end face in a single image, and the image analysis tool is able to accurately and efficiently detect contamination from the captured image.
