– When capturing images of the inner sidewalls of cylindrical objects, utilizing a wide-angle borescope proves effective.

– Compared to a standard borescope, a wide-angle borescope offers a broader field of view, allowing for a more extensive visual inspection in one glance.
If the subject has a glossy appearance, it can be observed using our 3W coaxial illumination. However, if the object lacks gloss, the 3W coaxial illumination may not provide sufficient light intensity.
In such cases, the use of a higher-power coaxial illumination system is recommended.

We observed the inner side of a 20mm diameter object using a wide-angle borescope

However, with a wide-angle borescope, it can be challenging to illuminate and observe objects larger than 25mm in diameter.
For such objects, there is a specialized lens known as a 360° internal inspection lens. Using this lens, we observed the inner side of a 50mm diameter glossy object.
The object is a 50mm diameter cylindrical inner side. |

This lens allows for the observation of the interior surfaces without inserting the lens into the object, unlike a borescope.
