From Instrument Technology, Inc.

Certain sections of a high
temperature glass-forming mill
required remote monitoring via
video. The customer wanted
to re-use existing borescope
cooling shrouds, but no offthe-
shelf scope of the proper
diameter and length could be
obtained.
In this application, there was
already sufficient light to monitor
the process, so illumination fibers
could be dispensed with. This is
common among high
temperature processes and greatly
simplifies the design of high
temperature borescopes.

Borescopes
Borescopes are optical inspection tools that consist of a rigid or flexible tube, an eyepiece on one end, and an objective lens on the other. They use optical relay components to transfer images of bores and cylinders from a tip to an eyepiece.
Videoscopes
Videoscopes are equipped with a CCD chip and focusable lens assembly that relays images from bores and cavities to a display. The camera is embedded in the tip of the scope and uses CCD technology rather than optical relay components (borescopes) or fiber optics (fiberscopes).
Fiberscopes
Fiberscopes are flexible borescopes that use fiber optic technology, an eyepiece at one end, and a lens at the other to inspect bores and cavities. They house fiber optic bundles in a flexible tube that allows users to change the viewing angle or navigate curved paths.
