UXR, Borescope views

Actual Views looking --thru--> our Borescopes

Note: all photos are raw, un-retouched images as captured

For a larger view This image shows a series of (4) actual images taken with our 4mm articulating fiberscope. They were first captured by our CCD video camera, printed on a video printer, the video print was then scanned by our HP Scanjet IIP scanner, saved into a image file.... then put on display here on the Internet. All these steps are not necessary, however this gives you an idea of the options you have. By purchasing a video system you can save your inspections on video tape OR have the capability to capture direct to hard disk (You need to get your own computer and some inexpensive accessories we recommend) and transmit the image anywhere in the world INSTANTLY- Just like researchers, emergency rooms, large companies, etc. are doing. BUT at a VERY, VERY low cost compared to the commercial systems offered by most manufacturers-

For a larger view The image you see here took several generations of conversion prior to the Internet. The quality and resolution would be ideal if you could see it on our color video monitor directly.....however, this should illustrate how a flexible borescope (Fiberscope) creates an image and differs from hard optics. The view you see here was taken from our 6mm fiberscope attached to the SR-71 flying at Mach 16 before it collided with the center tower. Just kidding of course..... this was a color xerox photo which was imaged using our FF6013 6mm Flexible Borescope and Color Video package. The image was then taped on a normal consumer grade Sony VHS video recorder, captured to hard disk by a frame grabber as a TIF image file, then uploaded to the Internet page after lowering the color depth to 256 colors. Note that each optical fiber is several microns in diameter and thousands of them are carefully aligned into an image bundle only 1mm (0.039") in diameter to create the image you see here.

For a larger view This close-up image of George was created using our 5.5mm diameter rigid borescope with achromatic lens system.
Video output was from our Black and White CCD camera, captured to disk and so forth. Note the image quality is better with hard optics as compared to fiber optics.

For a larger view Another close-up of U.S. currency taken with the 5.5mm rigid borescope and video output to show image quality. All I can say is that it must be an interesting experience to have your signature in the hands of millions of people.
You might guess that autograph collectors must not pay much for Mary Ellen's signature since it isn't very rare these days.

For a larger view Believe it or not, George was captured.....with our color CCD camera. Since he isn't printed in color on a dollar bill, it looks black and white here. Anyhow, this image was taken using our 6mm flexible borescope (fiberscope) to illustrate details, keep in mind that like the golden gate bridge image, it is several generations in the making.

For a larger view This is the corner of a $20 bill. Taken with our CCD color video package and our general purpose flexible borescope. Note the lack of color is due to high intensity of light being shown on the $20.00 which tends to "wash-out" the image a bit.

For a larger view "United States" banner on US currency shown up close with our general purpose flexible borescope.

For a larger view Close up view again showing the image clarity available with a flexible fiberoptic borescope. Note how the UXR logo is well defined by the image bundle installed inside our 4mm articulating borescope.

For a larger view Using our 4mm flexible borescope here is a close-up shot of a machinists 6" scale shown with 1/64" divisions. Note clarity of the image and separation. The fiberoptic bundles installed in our scopes have very dense packing which yield high resolution images.

For a larger view Close of a machinists 6" scale showning both 1/32" and 1/64" divisions viewed through our 4mm flexible borescope. Note clarity of the image and separation of the divisions. The fiberoptic bundles installed in our scopes have very dense packing which yield high resolution images.

For a larger view Taken with our 4mm flexible borescope- this is a close up of 6" Machinist's scale held at a steep angle away from the tip of the 4mm articulating flexible borescope. Note resolution and depth of field in this view.

For a larger view Taken with our 4mm flexible borescope-Close up view of 1/10" divisions on a set of vernier calipers. Note the tiny gear-track inside the unit as well.

For a larger view Taken with our 4mm flexible borescope-another close up view of 1/10" divisions on a set of vernier calipers.

For a larger view Note how the colors are represented properly with the fiberscope, this photo was taken from the side of a box that had stripes from the rainbow on it. The box was also held at an angle to illustrate the depth of field while viewing through our 4mm flexible borescope.
