I need to image the facet of a single mode optical fiber with back end illumination using optical microscope. I tried illuminating the fiber with a 30 mW visual fault detector (red). But the beam is so bright that I am not able to resolve the core and cladding under both 5X and 10X magnification. What can be done to get a clear image of core and cladding?
