videoscope
Medical viewing tube
A videoscope is a flexible optical instrument with a tiny camera at the tip, used to inspect hard-to-reach areas.
In medicine, videoscopes examine internal organs during diagnostic procedures.
In industry, they inspect engine interiors, pipes, and machinery without disassembly: The mechanic used a videoscope to check the cylinder walls.
Also called a borescope or inspection camera.
