Claim 0:
1. A borescope for optically inspecting gas turbines of aircraft engines, the borescope comprising:
an electronic image capture unit as a borescope objective at an end of a shaft, which is suitable for insertion into a borescope opening and configured for accurate positioning of the borescope objective relative to the borescope opening and through which data lines and supply lines for the image capture unit are guided,
wherein the image capture unit comprises:
two spaced apart image capture sensors, recording cones of which overlap in a specified recording plane forming a recording region, in such a way that image data of the two image capture sensors are configured to be processed into 3-D data by way of triangulations, and
an integrated circuit configured to preprocess the data generated by the two spaced apart image capture sensors in order to reduce the data to be transported via the data lines, and

wherein the integrated circuit is configured to process image data recorded simultaneously by the two spaced apart image capture sensors to form the 3-D data with the aid of triangulation.
