ABSTRACT ENDFACE ASSESSMENT Apparatus is disclosed for assessing features of the endface of a dielectric member by means of a reflected diffraction pattern. A plurality of light beams which intersect in a region containing the endface can be used to generate a diffraction pattern which subtends an angle of at least 180° at the endface. Such a diffraction pattern contains information about the endface and may be used, in particular, to locate the plane in which the end- face lies. Embodiments of the invention find particular application in the measurement of endface angles of optical fibres.
