Industrial endoscopes once included only rigid borescopes and flexible fiberscopes using coherent optical fiber bundles. In the early 2000s, videoscopes came into play, taking advantage of available technologies and CCD chips. Today, videoscopes are pushing the physical limitations of capturing images from small diameter insertion tubes while offering user-focused options, such as touch-screen interfaces and ergonomic designs. Videoscopes have come a long way in the past decade, and operators can look forward to exciting new trends.
