IMAGE CAPTURE AND DISPLAY SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for capturing and displaying images, using a system which synchronously controls a scanning image capture means and a scanning display means, is described with reference to an optical instrument such as a borescope or endoscope. The apparatus 10 comprises a scanning image capture means 32 receiving light from an object and producing an output representative thereof. Amplification means 46 amplifies the output and drives a light source 48 which provides light for a scanning image display system 52 which is operable to create a image of the object. Control means 56 is operable to synchronise operation of the scanning image capture means 32 and the scanning image display means 52. In this way, the invention provides a reel time high resolution image capture and display system.
