Abstract
An illuminated video probe in an aligning system for similtaneously viewing an object and a device acting on the object while illuminating the object and the device acting on the object directly along their respective viewing axes. A first optical beamsplitter and adjacent mirror surface act to simultaneously translate the object and device images to the video probe optical axis. A second optical beamsplitter, adjacent light source, and opaque surface act to illuminate the object along the viewing axis without causing light to project back toward the video probe.
