QC5: Inspect the fiber ends

Inspect the polished fiber ends with a mirror and light (or other means) -the surfaces should be smooth, polished, without scratches or chips.

Illuminate the fibers with the light source in the source tubes - note any fibers that give low light or that appear to be below the polished surface.

Repolish if necesary after removing the washer under the aspirin tube.

Sign and date the check sheet.
