General Information about Borescopes
From fiberscope.net
Bore scope is a rigid (industrial endoscope) or flexible (fibrescope, flexible borescope) tube with an eyepiece on one end, an objective lens on the other linked together by a relay optical system in between. Borescopes are used for inspection work (borescope inspection) where the area to be inspected is inaccessible by other means. There is 2 main types of borescopes. Flexible borescopes and Rigid borescopes. Flexible borescopes also are called Fiberscopes - because their relay optical system that trasfer image consist of thousands of tiny fibers (fiber optic image bundle).
 


Products & Services
Borescopes are inspection tools with rigid or flexible optical tubes for interior inspection of holes, bores, cavities, etc.
Fiberscopes are inspection tools with flexible optical tubes for interior inspection of holes, bores, and cavities.
Videoscopes are inspection tools that capture images from inside holes, bores or cavities.
Specialty fiber optic components are specialty or proprietary products related to fiber optic systems.
Light guides conduct the flow of light from a light source to a point of use in areas that are too small or too hazardous to permit the installation of a light bulb. There are two basic types of light guides: liquid and fiber optic.
