- 0.6, 2.4 and 4.1mm diameter

In some applications, the entry port size to the area of interest can be restricted and inserting a scope can be extremely difficult. This will often necessitate using an instrument of smaller diameter than conventional models.

The Olympus range of small diameter fiberscopes is designed for these applications and are available in diameters 0.6, 2.4 and 4.1mm (0.02, 0.09 and 0.16") and lengths of up to 1.5m (4.9’). All instruments feature a high resolution coherent fiberoptic bundle for image transmission and a separate channel of non-coherent fibers for illuminating the inspection area. To aid insertion and maneuverability once inside the entry port, all instruments feature a strong, reliable insertion tube construction and in the case of the 2.4mm and 4.1mm, two-way angulation helps ’steer’ the tip towards the target area. Additionally, 4.1mm diameter models have the Olympus ’Tapered Flexibility’ insertion tube design, which means that the insertion tube becomes gradually more flexible towards the distal end - a feature not normally associated with small diameter instruments.

All instruments have ocular focus to ensure that the individual operator’s eyesight is accommodated and can be attached to CCTV and photographic equipment to allow the images to be permanently recorded. To illuminate the inspection area, any one of the Olympus light sources can be used.
