WHAT IS A BORESCOPE?

Bore scopes are high quality optical devices that are used to inspect inaccessible areas. A bore scope has an objective lens on an end and an eyepiece on the other end. A fiber optic cable links its two ends together. In medicine, they call this device endoscope. It is commonly used to examine internal organs without doing an operation.

There are two types of bore scopes: rigid and flexible, depending on the tube. Rigid bore scopes provide better image quality than flexible bore scopes. But unlike flexible bore scopes, rigid bore scopes can’t bend or twist. Flexible bore scopes can bend and access cavities with more complicated shapes. Flexible bore scopes are often more expensive than rigid bore scopes.

A borescope’s eyepiece can be fitted with a coupler lens so you can connect the borescope to a digital camera and record the images or view them on a large screen.

Bore scopes are capable of reaching deep into walls, vents, drains and engine blocks. Bore scopes are also capable of magnifying and illuminating the insides of most industrial devices.

PREVENT UNNECESSARY COST FOR INSPECTION

The primary use of bore scopes is for visual inspection of inaccessible areas of aircraft engines, industrial gas turbines, diesel engines, car and truck engines and so much more. With the use of bore scopes you can inspect your heavy industrial devices without the need to completely dismantling them.

Also with the use of bore scopes you can inspect your devices first before doing a costly maintenance. Bore scopes can save you time and money by preventing unnecessary maintenance work.

Bore scopes are also important for every gunsmith, shooter and firearm enthusiast. You can use bore scopes to monitor inside of your gun and the condition of your barrels.

As important an endoscope is in medical practices, a borescope is an important and wise inspection tool in any industry.
