Remote Visual Inspection Equipment

Industrial Videoscopes

Industrial Videoscopes

Outstanding image quality and brightness delivered to high-resolution LCD monitors enable inspectors to see into difficult-to-access locations, such as the inside of an engine or turbine. Simple to use and offering advanced features, including HD video, 3D modeling, and video/image recording, Olympus videoscopes are leading visual inspection tools.
Fiberscopes

Industrial Fiberscopes

Fiberscopes are flexible instruments that use a fiber bundle to transmit images back to an ocular that inspectors look into. Their small diameter permits visual inspection in limited-access areas.
Borescopes

Industrial Rigid Borescopes

Rigid borescopes use a system of optical lenses to transmit images from the inspection area back to the eye. A fiber bundle sends light from an external source into the component being inspected to illuminate the area.

Swing Prism Borescopes

These rigid borescopes have an adjustable direction of view. The direction can be continuously adjusted from fore-oblique to retro viewing. Combined with the field of view, this enables a total viewing arc of 120° to 140°.

Zoom Swing Prism Borescopes

These instruments have the same characteristics as standard swing prism borescopes but with the addition of 2X optical zoom. This enables you to zoom in on an object of interest to see it up close.

Aeroengine Borescope

These borescopes are designed to meet engine manufacturer specification for optimum performance. Some of these instruments feature a rotating graticule to aid in the visual assessment of defects.

MK Modular Mini-Scopes

With an innovative modular design, these 1.2 mm, 1.7 mm, and 2.7 mm ultra-thin borescopes enable cost-effective inspections, reducing the risk of damage and the need for repair. Their compact and versatile design is ideal for routine automotive inspections.

Videoscope and Borescope FAQs

What is a borescope?

A borescope is a type of remote visual inspection device that consists of a rigid or flexible tube that transmits images back to an ocular or screen. Inspectors use these devices to look inside difficult-to-access areas.

What is the difference between a videoscope and a borescope?

Videoscopes are a type of borescope. Borescopes are simpler instruments with fewer features. Videoscopes are versatile, durable visual inspection tools that offer many leading-edge features, including video/still image recording.

How do videoscopes and borescopes work?

Videoscopes have a small sensor chip in the tip of their insertion tubes that enables them to capture video and still images. The sensor sends these images to an LCD screen where they are viewed by the inspector. Many modern videoscopes also have an LED or laser diode light source located in the tip of the insertion tube. Borescopes are simpler instruments that transmit images through a flexible or rigid insertion tube back to an ocular or screen.

What is the difference between a borescope and an endoscope?

Industrial endoscopes and videoscopes are interchangeable terms, and both refer to the same type of instrument. Endoscopes/videoscopes are a more advanced type of borescope that has video and still image recording capabilities.
