    Abstract: There is provided an adapter tip to be employed with an optical-fiber connector-endface inspection microscope device and an optical-fiber connector endface inspection microscope system suitable for imaging angled-polished optical-fiber endface(s) of an optical-fiber connector. The proposed adapter tip or microscope system comprises relay optics comprising a multifaceted optical prism defining a first reflecting plane surface, a second reflecting plane surface and a third reflecting plane surface, used to deflect inspection light coming from the endface(s) through reflection of illumination light—referred to hereinafter as the object beam—towards and substantially in line with the optical axis of the objective lens of the optical-fiber connector-endface inspection microscope device.
