Series 5 Swing Prism
Some applications reqire the observation of a wider area than can be achieved using a single rigid instrument. Standard Olympus Series 5 borescopes have a fixed direction of view and a fixed field of view, which although perfectly suited to a single area inspection, can necessitate a kit of multiple instruments to fully inspect a larger area.

 The Olympus Series 5 Swing Prism borescopes feature an adjustable prism in the objective end of the instrument that allows the operator to remotely control the direction of view from 45° fore-oblique to 115° retro, thus allowing the area to be ’scanned’.  Coupled to the standard 50° field of view of the instrument, a total arc of 120° can be viewed.  In addition, the light guide fibers at the objective end are separated to provide a spread of illumination across the entire viewing range.
In addition to the swing-prism for direction of view adjustment, some models feature an optical zoom function to provide instant adjustment of image magnification.  This allows for detailed analysis of a defect without changing instruments or complicated post-inspection image enhancement.  Click on the image to see the effectiveness of this combination of functions.
 
All the optical innovations of conventional Olympus Series 5 instruments are also incorporated in the Swing Prism design.
