In hopes of understanding the bulge in the spliced region of the fibers, the ferrules they are spliced in were photographed under a microscope and measured using a tracker program that allows for in-photo calibration and measurement. The ferrules were placed as perpendicular to the table as possible in order to get the most flat, head on shot of the ferrules. The error in the measurement of the angles was quite high. Moving the compass only a little bit (in the tracker program) lead to very different degrees read. Because of this I would estimate the angle to be off anywhere from +- 1-2 degrees. I do feel that the lengths measured in tracker are more accurate, on the order of +- .05-.1 mm
