What is the difference between a borescope and an endoscope?

    When it comes to visual inspection and examination, tools like borescopes and endoscopes play a pivotal role in various fields. Though they share a common purpose, there are distinct differences in their designs, applications, and features.              Click here for more product information on endoscopes.

Borescope:

    A QBH borescope, often referred to as a QBH  boroscope, bore scope, or simply a scope, is a versatile tool used to inspect confined and hard-to-reach areas. Typically, it consists of a flexible or rigid tubular casing housing internal illumination and a camera. The primary design purpose of a borescope is to examine areas like engines, pipelines, mechanical components, or any space that is challenging to access directly. One common type is the snake-like borescope, designed with a flexible cable or "neck" that facilitates easy maneuvering in curved or bent environments.


Endoscope:

    An endoscope is a medical tool used to examine internal organs or confined spaces within the human body. However, in the industrial realm, QBH endoscopes are also employed to inspect the interiors of equipment and systems. Endoscopes tend to have a more intricate design, allowing them to access even smaller spaces, and they can be equipped with various attachments such as different types of illumination sources, cameras, and sensors. In both medical and industrial applications, endoscopes prove invaluable for high-resolution and precise inspections. A common type includes rigid endoscopes utilizing glass rods and lenses, delivering clear images and greater flexibility.
    In practice, there are similarities between these tools. Operators can observe the inspection area in real-time through a camera linked to a display screen. Moreover, both tools employ non-destructive testing methods, enabling internal information to be obtained without dismantling equipment or systems.

    Bringing together these concepts, it's evident that borescopes and endoscopes, employing technologies such as car evaporator cleaning endoscopes, cable cuello de cisne (gooseneck cable), detection tools, and industrial endoscopes, are indispensable visual inspection tools. They enable accurate examinations and maintenance in inaccessible or hard-to-reach areas. Regardless of their application in the industrial or medical domain, these tools significantly enhance diagnostic and maintenance efficiency.
