The borescope contains a very elongated “glass” lens (rod lens) inside.
Therefore, if you receive a strong impact instantaneously, the glass lens inside may crack or break.
For glass protection, it is enclosed in a stainless steel tube. But, please be careful especially when handling long and small diameter.
