Fiber Optics Scope – More Than Meets The Eye

Probably the most high tech scene on Air Force One was when John Leguizamo, playing as an anti terrorist operative, briefed and managed his men to provide ‘eyes’ all over the hijacked Air Force One cabin. After the successful, and unincidentful process, the team had visual access to the entire cabin.

That technology was fiber optics, and at that time, it was a considerable wow. Although bulky since remote controlled devices should be installed for maneuverability (and I think personally that there should be efforts to camouflage the eventual glinting of the naked steel), it was still fiber optics true to the core.

That is one of the fantastic sciences afforded with fiber optics. And guess what, it is available for purchase across the internet. See these digs I found over the internet.

Fiber Optics Image Scope Model VID 016

Sold at the prices of:
3 1/3 ft. (or 1 meter) at $580
6 2/3 ft. (or 2 meters) at $780
10 ft. (or 3 meters) at $830

this fiber optics scope is considerably slimmer than what you saw on movies and on television, thus will allow you to slip it past even the most minute crack, hole, gap or opening or just any hard to reach areas. It makes its scale and color inconspicuous (if this characteristic helps). It is better than most surveillance miniature videos since for its size it can clearly see near or far images. And it doesn’t hinder in light (or absence of such) conditions, if your eyes can see a degree in the dark, this fiber optics scope allows you the same, by choosing to install a light guide fitting also available at the site. Of course you can also screw this equipment to camcorders by using an optional camcorder adapter also sold at the site.

Actually, endoscopes are already present for some time, as early as the 80s. The only problem is the fiber optic manufacturing cost. Requiring the most delicate process of chemical vapor deposition, that makes fiber optic materials way off the regular consumer budget. But today, with the cheaper alternatives found in plastic solutions, and a number of competing manufacturers balanced by a growing demand, these technologies becomes much, much more accessible to the public, sparking interest to the consumers in a number of ways.
