A method for observing the inner wall of cylindrical holes (approximately φ45~100mm)

The “Hole Inspection Lens PHL178” allows for 360° observation of the inner wall surface. Due to its compact size, the lens can be inserted into and used for inspection of holes with a diameter of φ45mm or greater.

A black rubber sheet was attached to a cylindrical PVC pipe with a diameter of approximately φ100mm, and the inner wall was observed.

(Equipment used: Inner Wall Inspection Microscope PHL200BA)

Since black rubber tends to absorb light, the image can easily become dark. However, by adjusting the lighting and camera settings, it was possible to observe with sufficient brightness.

Even if the light is insufficient, it can be brightened by modifying the illumination. We experimented by attaching commercially available LED tape lights to the side of the lens.
