AIT offers a fiber optic inspection scope that is only 0.35mm(.013 in) diameter.
The Milliscope II fiber optic inspection scope is about the diameter of 3 human
hairs and can be manufactured in lengths up to 150cm (59 inches). Fiber optic
inspection scopes such as the Milliscope II can be used for a variety of
applications where precision is absolutely necessary. The scope can be inserted
into the tiniest passage way and typically will be used for inspection of surgical
instruments, turbine blades, castings, and other precisely manufactured parts.
The 0.35mm diameter is unique as the smallest diameter fiber optic inspection
scope made to inspect such tiny areas.

Fiber Optic Inspection Scope Applications Include:


Engineering & Manufacturing

Small diameter Milliscope II Fiber optic inspection scope provides cost-effective
examination of internal structures without teardown. A flexible fiber optic
inspection scope allows engineers to check for pitting, cracking, corrosion,
erosion, weld and other defects.

Quality Control

Super thin Milliscope II fiber optic inspection scopes allow manufactures to
inspect components for defects. A fiber optic inspection scope provide the ability
to inspect internal components, surgical instruments, catheters, bore holes,
castings and other manufactured items such as turbine blades, circuit boards,
rifle barrels and welds.

Castings

The mini Milliscope II fiber optic scope can be used to inspect inside casting of
engine blocks and other high quality casted components. fiber optic inspection
scope instruments as small as 0.35 mm in diameter and larger are offered to
accommodate all casting inspection needs.

Aerospace

A Milliscope II fiber optic inspection scope allows Inspection of turbine blades
and vanes cooling holes and passages. Fuel Nozzles are another typical
application that requires super a thin fiber optic inspection scope to inspect for
blockage and other defects.
