Rigid borescopes are used where straight-line access to the inspection area is available, providing a cost effective solution for many applications. By using a precision optical lens system, high definition images of the inspection area are provided to the operator’s eye. An external light source is then used to transmit illumination to the subject area via a detachable light guide cable.

Series 5 borescopes are available in a wide range of diameters, working lengths, direction of view and field of view (magnification). All models feature a number of innovative design elements, including:
Sophisticated optical system - Olympus is renowned for optical innovation and the Series 5 is no exception. Each diameter of borescope has it own lens system design, optimized to the available space. Multi-layer lens coating is used to reduce internal reflections and maximize image brightness and contrast.
Orbital Scan - Especially useful when the borescope is clamped or being used in conjunction with CCTV, this feature allows the insertion tube to be rotated a full 370 degrees without affecting the orientation of the control body or accessories attached to the eyepiece.
High-grade stainless steel insertion tube - Ensures a durable, corrosion free, fluid resistant, outer protective sheath.
Laser welded tip - Significantly reduces the possibility of tip detachment for safe, trouble free inspections.
Ergonomically designed control body - A comfortable and functional control body design has always been a hallmark of Olympus borescopes. The Series 5 design further enhances this and integrates all controls, placing them within easy reach for true single handed operation.
Color coded identification ring - The serial number and model reference are engraved in the eyepiece ring. This is also color coded to indicate the borescope direction of view.
Lens to fiber ratio - While large lenses provide bright, clear images in ambient lighting conditions, the overall result in an actual inspection is far more dependant on the light transmission performance of the instrument. Series 5 achieves a precise balance of lenses and fibers for superb image brightness.
