Flexible Borescopes Flexible borescopes have a flexible insertion shaft with or without control of the tip (articulation) and are used when a straight path to the target is not available. They can either transmit or carry the image via a CCD sensor or coherent fiber bundle.	Semi-Rigid Borescopes Semi-rigid borescopes use the insides of a fiberscope and the outsides of a rigid borescope to create a durable product. These products are a great solution for harsh, repetitve inspections where more fragile rigid solutions won't hold up.	Rigid Borescopes Rigid borescopes are known for their high quality images but fragility and durability are sometimes a concern with smaller diameters. They use solid glass lenses in a line to carry the image from the target to the eyepiece or CCD.
Directions Of View Direction of View refers to the angle which the borescope looks and is expressed in degrees. The image is turned or redirected using prisms or in some cases mirrored surfaces.	Fields Of View Field of View refers to the overall area that a borescope can see and is expressed in degrees.
