Endoscopes are the ideal tool for inspection and maintenance. Endoscopes offer new perspectives of the insides of machines. Thanks to its flexible fibre optic cables and its light weight enclosure, these extraordinaries endoscopes can locate problems and conflicts very easily and quickly, allowing for preventative measures to be taken without the need to dismantle the machinery first. Endoscopes are used mainly by electricians, security personnel, specialists in the professional sector, and mechanics of all types.  Endoscopes are exceptional tools in places such as schools or universities, especially in practical applications.

Endoscopes function without the possibility of saving images.  Of course, we offer an adaptor which will allow you to connect the endoscope to a digital camera, permitting you to capture images, digitize them and document them in a PC. The adaptor has a diameter of 37mm. It is a standard adaptor for most types of digital cameras, although some models will require another adaptor to accomodate from 52mm or 48mm to 37mm. Unfortunately we only have the 37mm adaptor available from our store, the other adaptors can be found at shops specializing in photography and its components, for example, Hama.

We sell adaptors for all types of endoscopes that we have available

Take into account that the adaptors are only suited to the standard lens size previously mentioned, and it isn't possible to put in it's place just any type of digital camera. As such, you will have the capacity to document the areas inspected by the endoscope. The digital camera is not included with the endoscope when you order. Consult use about any doubts you may have regarding the adaptors for endoscopes or regarding the apparatus itself.


Almost all of the endoscopes come with a 45° mirror attachment to increase the field of vision. You can also order a magnet attachment to locate magnetic objects, such as a screw, and extract them.

General information about endoscopes: Endoscopes have a cylindrical form that contains a light and a lens that magnifies the image from the optic fibres to allow a visualization of the area being analysed to determine the fault. Endoscopes are traditionally used for diagnostics in the sector of medicine.  Today, they are used in the industrial sector, for cavities with limited accessibility (injection moulds, machinery, motors, casting, etc..). Our endoscopes are are flexible and return to their original form after they are extracted. For documentation we offer these endoscopes with camera and video adaptors. The two images above show two examples of the endoscope at work. To the right you can see that an automobile's exhaust pipe is being inspected for oxidation, obstructions and fractures. To the left it is being used to inspect the plumbing of a sink for obstructions.
Attention: Our endoscopes are not to be used in the field of medicine.  They can only be used in the industrial sector, DIY, product development along with personal use such as for hobbies.
