Abstract:
1. A borescopic device comprising: an adjustable holder assembly for holding an object, the adjustable holder assembly having a first positional adjuster for providing linear movement of the object in a first direction, a second positional adjuster for providing linear movement of the object in a second direction different from the first direction, an angular adjuster for providing angular movement of the object, and a position indicator for providing an indication of the position of the object in each of the first and second directions as well as the angular position of the object; a borescopic imaging system having a probe moveable in the first direction and capable of capturing an image of at least one surface of the object, the boroscopic imaging system also having a position indicator for providing an indication of the position of the probe; and a monitoring system for determining the position of an image captured by the borescopic imaging system relative to the object based upon the indications provided by the position indicators of the adjustable holder assembly and the borescopic imaging system.
