A borescope is a specialized optical device designed to inspect and view areas that are typically difficult or impossible to access directly. It consists of a long, slender tube equipped with an eyepiece on one end and an objective lens on the other, often accompanied by a light source to illuminate the target area. Some modern borescopes also incorporate cameras and video displays, allowing for real-time viewing and recording of the inspection process. The primary purpose of a borescope is to enable visual inspection of internal components, machinery, or structures without requiring disassembly or destruction, making it a valuable tool for non-invasive examination.
