Conventional borescopes use pairs of lenses that relay; one to another; an image down a tube until it reaches a viewing eyepiece. These lenses have to be ground polished, coated and centered before they can be placed in the borescope. If they are not done correctly they will not function properly and refract the image clearly or in some cases at all.
It is a rigid borescope with special patented lenses and glass rods to relay images from the tip to the viewer. The patented lenses are made quite differently which makes the Hawkeye borescope very different from other borescopes.
The Hawkeye’s manufacturing process utilizes a variation of a technique developed by H.H. Hopkins. His process used the traditional lenses with the addition of glass optical rods. The addition of glass rods gave a much better resolution and sharpness to the image presented.
Gradient Lens Corporation took this a step further when developing the borescope. Gradient Lens took the longer glass rods, made them longer and then treated them in an ion exchanger. In doing this, they removed many of the more costly to produce optical lens pairs. The new patented process gave better image quality at a lower price to manufacture. The Hawkeye was developed using this newly patented technology.
Quickly the it became a leader in the borescope industry for high quality imaging at a reasonable cost. Professionals in a large number of fields have discovered the unsurpassed quality imaging, versatility, and money saving capabilities of the Hawkeye borescope. Some of the professionals who trust their important inspection jobs to a Hawkeye borescope are:
o The aviation industry uses it to conduct routine inspection and maintenance of airplane components such as combustion turbines and compressors. It also uses it for quick and easy inspection of fuel nozzles and hoses. These inspections are critical in keeping an aircraft from mechanical failure while in operation.
o The metal machining industry inspects intricate machined parts for defects such as bore hole accuracy, burrs and structural defects. The accuracy of these parts is critical to their performance. Quality control inspectors of all kinds use the Hawkeye borescope for quick, easily accessible inspections to ensure products are free of defects.
o Building inspectors use the Hawkeye bore scope to check behind the walls in a building for structural defects such as mold. Riflemen use the borescope to look down a gun barrel and detect any wear and tear of it. If the interior surface of a gun barrel is not smooth; the accuracy of the rifle’s shot will be off.
o The armed services military inspect weapons regularly with a borescope to check for defects that could affect the weapons firing accuracy.
o Mechanics who service gas and diesel engines use it to look for imperfections in hard to access engines, transmissions, injectors, and other parts.
As you can see; it has to be accurate and reliable to meet the performance expectations of these very important inspection applications. When you need a borescope; the Hawkeye borescope may just exceed your expectations.
The Hawkeye borescope can be attached to a video or digital camera to record your inspections. This can be useful for comparison between inspections or to document that inspections have been completed. The Hawkeye borescope is the trusted inspection instrument for many professionals.

why do H20 and alcohol cling to the surface of a glass rod whereas H20 does not?
why do H20 and alcohol cling to the surface of a glass rod whereas H20 does not?
the cohesive force between glass and alcohol/glass & water is greater than that between alcohol and water…..
however the cohesive force between glass and water is less than the adhesive force between water molecules.
