Industrial endoscope uses miniature cameras to remotely capture detection images and present them on the IPS screen or LCD screen in real time, thereby assisting the inspector to intuitively explore the equipment inside. This process is similar to when people use mobile phones or computers to watch surveillance images, so People habitually migrate video resolution standards to the field of industrial endoscopes, and the term 1080P industrial endoscope has emerged. It can be considered that 1080P borescope is a high definition borescope whose display resolution reaches the video resolution standard of 1080P. But this does not mean the clarity of the detection image.
Industrial borescopes have their own special features. In order to achieve non-destructive testing, the diameter of the probe is usually very small. The size of the photoreceptor array of the micro camera built into the front end of the probe is very limited, and the eye passes through the photoreceptor. The electrical signal output by the photosensitive element after photoelectric conversion is first transmitted to the endoscope processing unit, and then presented on a larger display screen after processing. Therefore, what really determines the image clarity is: the type of camera photoreceptor (CCD/CMOS) and the number of photosensitive elements (this number is also called the number of native pixels), which characterizes the camera’s ability to capture images, and high-definition 1080P describes is the display resolution presented to the inspector after processing or the image resolution after storage, which may have undergone interpolation or other adaptive image processing processes, so the two cannot be confused.
What Are The Conditions That High Quality Borescope Usually Have:
- The camera photoreceptor is CCD: For example, the S10 articulating camera snake used in Endosc industrial endoscope has higher sensitivity, higher signal-to-noise ratio and wider dynamic range, the image is clearer and sharper, and the color reproduction is closer It helps to accurately detect and identify defects in real objects.
- The camera photoreceptor has a higher number of native pixels: more advanced pixel arrangement technology is used to maximize pixel density, improve the spatial effectiveness of the pixel unit, and present a detection picture with richer details, The more detailed images help find subtle defects that are easily overlooked during inspections of gearboxes, engines, etc.
It can be seen that when purchasing a HD industrial endoscope, you should not blindly pursue the concept of 1080p borescope camera, but you should know that the type of camera photoreceptor and the number of native pixels are the source of determining the clear image effect, and also the main technical parameters that should be paid attention to.
Of course, users can usually only refer to the technical parameters provided by the merchants, but lack the professional ability to verify these parameters. In this case, Endosc support team recommend you to conduct on-site inspections and comparisons to see the imaging effects of different industrial endoscope brands.
