The hollow insertion tube has at least one image sensor, and at least one LED or light source at the distal end of the probing tube to provide image and other information to the main control unit or main body. An opening is made in the wall of the structure to be inspected, and the hollow rigid probe is inserted, and with the light source activated, images within the structure cavity are obtained. After the internal inspection of the cavity has been completed, the probe is extracted, and the hole is closed. The invention also provides a method of using the inventive borescope apparatus. |
