Have you ever heard of a borescope? Chances are you've seen them, even if you didn't know what they were called. For example, have you ever seen an engine mechanic using a small-diameter tube, with an eyepiece on the end? In any position the thin, sometimes flexible tube, in strategic locations helps them to get a good look at what is going on inside. These are borescopes.

As you might have guessed, borescopes are commonly used when inspecting machinery. For example, HVAC professionals use rigid borescopes, which have a straight-line barrel, to inspect air conditioning and heat pump components. The advantage of using a borescope is that it often eliminates the need to completely disassemble a machine in order inspect it.

Major manufacturers include Olympus and Hawkeye -- Olympus borescopes and Hawkeye borescopes are industry leaders, and manufacture sophisticated, precision equipment which is used in manufacturing, science and technology, and other industries.

How to borescopes work? Rigid borescopes, which do not bend, utilize a series of positioned optical lenses to transmit light. There are video borescopes as well, which incorporate the latest video display technology.

On the other hand, borescopes which flex, or bend, utilize a different type of technology -- fiber optics. The fiber-optic filaments used in flexible borescopes allow these models to be bent and moved -- and this is really helpful when various obstacles in the way would prevent the use of rigid borescopes. ProVision borescopes are relatively inexpensive, flexible borescopes which are widely used by mechanics in the automotive field, as well as in other fields.

It is also possible to purchase various types of borescope accessories -- for example, if you will need to use your borescope in the field, you can purchase a battery operated light source for it. You can also purchase specially-designed carrying cases, changeable diameter shafts, couplers for the connection of a camera, etc.

And since borescopes can cost thousands of dollars to purchase new, it is also possible to rent them. Borescope rental companies have sprung up, and they provide a very important service for businesses who could not otherwise afford to purchase a borescope -- or for businesses or industries who only have an occasional need to use one. Borescope rental fees are extremely reasonable, and most borescope rental companies have a wide variety of models to choose from.

An important borescope advance is the development of specialized, PC-based software applications. These specialized programs will allow you to do things like digitally record images, to document your inspections, operate your borescope from a remote location -- some of them will even help you to do your paperwork! Some companies will offer these computerized applications along with your equipment purchase, eliminating the need for an additional, expensive purchase.

One of the fields where borescopes are used very widely is the field of medicine, where borescopes are called endoscopes. They are used during surgery, for doing autopsies, for gynecological examinations, colonoscopies, upper G.I. testing, etc. These special-purpose endoscopes are designed to be used within the human body without injuring it, and can also be sterilized without damaging the unit in any way.

A rigid borescope is an instrument that is utilized to view into confined areas, hard to reach places where access is limited to a small opening.   The rigid borescope is comprised of a shaft that has an optic lens tip on one end and a place to view the image on the other end. 

The rigid borescope is capable of magnifying images immensely so you will be able to get a close up view of what you want to look at. A rigid borescope can be an investment of a few hundred dollars or more, so here are some tips and considerations for you to think about before you go buy one.

Function

When deciding to acquire a rigid borescope you must look at what you will be using you borescope for.  To help you decide what you might use a rigid borescope for, take a moment to consider all the various applications where you could use one. 

For instance if you needed to check for problems in the electrical wiring or water plumbing inside a wall, but really don't want to tear the wall out to see what is in there.  You could use a rigid borescope to do this by drilling a hole and inserting the tip of the rigid borescope.  The rigid borescope would then present you the image of what is going on inside your wall.  With the use of rigid borescope you don't need to do all that destructive demolition work to find your problem.

If you are a mechanic, the rigid borescope is able to get into all those tight spaces around and under the engine of your car.  You don't need to dismantle the surrounding engine components to get to the part you can't reach.
Or, in case you have a toddler and unfortunately he drops your wife's favorite earrings down the bathroom sink; you can use a rigid borescope to help you retrieve it.

Specific Brand?

Once you decide what you will be using a rigid borescope for then you can decide what kind you need.  You will need to decide how long your rigid borescope will need to be and whether or not you will require one that has an angle. A Rigid borescope comes in a variety of lengths beginning at eighteen inches.  You can also get a rigid borescope with different angles; including a right angle.

Resolution

The resolution of the rigid borescope you purchase is very important.  If you do not have enough resolution the images will not be clear.  Resolution refers to the sharpness of an image and is determined by the number of pixels.  The higher number of pixels; the better your resolution will be.  It is recommended you have at least ten thousand pixels to get  decent image quality.

Buy or Rent?

If purchasing a rigid borescope turns out to be too costly for your budget; you can always rent one to complete your task.  Some equipment rental dealers have rigid borescopes you can rent or lease for a day or longer if you need them. Rigid borescopes are a handy way to access hard to reach areas quickly and easily.  Use the above tips to make sure you are satisfied should you decide to purchase one.

Electronics is a vast field of study encompassing systems and technologies that control the flow of electrons and other types of charged carriers in various devices such as valves and semiconductors. The application of electronics is fairly widespread and is often the base for the growth of technology. Almost every new or old invention uses the concepts of electronics. Electronics is one of the primary branches of electrical engineering. To put electrical engineering into practice, a large number of electrical devices and equipments are required to test the workability and durability of complex electrical machines and systems.

Electronic test equipment is usually simple and cheap though there are compound electrical gears that are more difficult to test. Electronic test equipment is often referred to as test gear. These devices generate stimulus signals in order to receive responses from electronic gadgets referred to as Devices under Test (DUTs). By using these devices, the functioning of the DUTs can be proven and faults can be tracked and repaired.

Electronic test equipment can range from a simple light bulb to complex computerized and automated testing systems. There are different types of test equipment available for testing different devices. Basic electronic test equipments are used for simple measurement of the capacity of voltage and current in common circuits. Such test gear includes devices such as voltmeters, ammeters, galvanometers, ohmmeters, multimeters, power supplies, signal and pulse generators and oscilloscopes. These devices are usually digital and check simple prototypes. Certain advanced and less commonly used equipment such as clamp meters, electrometers, EMF meters, RF probes and logic analyzers are used to test the operation of higher and advanced components. Most test equipment used generate signals and hence are called signal-generating devices. Signal generating devices such as frequency synthesizer, function generator, pulse generator and signal injectors are used to generate signals for testing the working of electrical circuits.

Electrical test equipments have extensive use in fields such as aerospace, defense, automobiles and telecommunication. The use of these equipments helps in reducing the need for future quality assurance tests.
