Abstract
A system for aligning an optical fiber termination to a light path is disclosed. Light coming through the fiber at its termination as well as light introduced into the light path from a laser are directed along the light path to a viewer. The placement of the fiber termination is adjustable, as is the direction of the light path, such that the image of light from the optical fiber termination can be adjusted to coincide at the viewer with the image of light from the laser. A long focal length lens is optionally placed in the input beam path and laterally positioned as a fine resolution control over the point of focus at the fiber core. If the laser radiation is ultraviolet or infrared, a flourescing surface may be positioned in the light path to return visible light along the light path to the viewer.
