Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
capturing, by one or more optical components of a microscope, an image of a profile of a fiber optic ferrule and a connector of an optical fiber based on the fiber optic ferrule being received by a first opening of a first connector adapter of the microscope, wherein a mechanical axis of the fiber optic ferrule is orthogonal to an optical path from a camera of the microscope to the fiber optic ferrule when the fiber optic ferrule is received by the first opening,
wherein the image of the profile of the fiber optic ferrule and the connector portrays one or more edges, formed by a silhouette of a ferrule chamfer of the fiber optic ferrule and an endface of the fiber optic ferrule, against a bright region;

processing, by one or more processors associated with the microscope, the image to determine a measurement of the ferrule chamfer; and
capturing, by the one or more optical components of the microscope, an image of the endface based on the fiber optic ferrule being received by a second opening of a second connector adapter, wherein the mechanical axis of the fiber optic ferrule is axially aligned with the optical path of the microscope when the fiber optic ferrule is received by the second opening.
