boroskooppi

The term "boroskooppi" is a Finnish word that translates to "borescope" in English. A borescope is a type of optical instrument used for inspecting internal surfaces or inaccessible areas of machinery or structures. It typically consists of a flexible or rigid tube with a light source at the end and a magnifying lens or camera system.

Boresscopes are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and inspection services. They allow technicians to visually examine the interior of engines, pipes, turbines, and other components without the need for disassembly. This can help in detecting defects such as cracks, corrosion, wear, or foreign objects, thereby facilitating maintenance and repair processes.

The image from the borescope is either viewed directly through an eyepiece or transmitted to a screen, often allowing for recording and documentation of the inspection. More advanced borescopes may feature articulation, allowing the tip of the tube to be maneuvered in different directions for better access and viewing angles. The development of borescopes has significantly improved diagnostic capabilities and preventative maintenance strategies in numerous technical fields.
