Modification of commercial borescope yields clear, glare-free images of defects on inside of tube. Used to examine diverging wall of tube. Wall illuminated by light from fiber distinct from fused-fiber cable used for viewing. Viewing cable holds right-angle mirror at tip so it can look sideways. Image appears, magnified, on monitor. Instrument offers large depth of focus and therefore used in tubes of varying inside diameter.
