Endoscopy: a Simple Definition

Industrial endoscopy refers to the use of optical or digital devices, called industrial endoscopes, to explore and inspect areas that are inaccessible to the human eye in complex industrial environments. Unlike medical endoscopy, this technique is specifically designed for extreme conditions: high-temperature environments of up to 2000°C, corrosive atmospheres, or confined spaces. In these situations, only specialized inspection tools such as high-temperature endoscopes can provide safe and reliable visual access.
