Lenox Instrument Company's new line of Ultra-Violet (UV) Borescopes are designed to be used in non-destructive testing (NDT) dye penetration tests for remotely detecting surface flaws and cracks in hard to reach areas of mechanical components normally inaccessible to visual inspection. These tests use a penetrant fluorescent dye that is applied to the surface to be viewed and allowed to penetrate into surface defects and remain in defects after cleaning where it can be observed when it fluoresces under the ultra-violet light from the UV Borescope. A Ultra-Violet Borescopes is commonly used for quality control, maintenance, and finished product evaluation to identify cracks or defects in a turbine engine, aerospace part, aircraft inspection, research and development laboratory and other manufacturing facilities.

Lenox UV Rigid Borescopes can be used to identify details and flaws as small as 0.001 inch. With a variety of probes (direct, forward oblique, to-the-side or retrospective), magnifications and fields of view available, any type of cavity can be easily and effectively probed, on any budget. UV Rigid Borescopes feature rugged stainless steel construction; they are available in diameters from 4 mm (0.157 in.) to 10 mm (0.395 in.), and lengths from 17.8 cm (7 in.) to 160 cm (63 in.).
