ARTICULATING FIBERSCOPES


Our high-performance fiberscopes provides clear, sharp images of inaccessible areas, making remote inspection, evaluation and imaging possible in almost any situation.

They offer durable construction and exceptional value in a range of diameters and lengths. A simple knob controls the articulation while a focusing eyepiece enhances high-resolution imaging and accommodates 35mm and video cameras. The Flexible shaft resists water, gasoline or diesel and jet fuels, simplifying inspection of liquid-filled vessels.

Optical Inspection Device

The 6mm two-way articulation and the 8mm four-way articulation help quickly locate contraband in hard-to-reach areas. These systems are used daily by national, international, and government law enforcement agencies to successfully detect concealed materials. Both the 6mm and 8mm compact systems include a fuel proof fiberscopes, portable illuminator and all the accessories needed for on-site inspection.

In response to requests from police departments and U.S. Customs, these systems have been totally redesigned to improve articulation, image and brightness. The Sas Fiberoptics Inspection System is a critical equipment addition for customs , police departments, and countless others who need extended visibility in otherwise inaccessible areas.
