Description

ENVIROCAM EL-B FOR CLEAR /TRANSLUCENT LIQUIDS
Incorporates backlight illumination to more distinctly define the edges of bubbles or particulate contained in a clear liquid.

ENVIROCAM EL-F FOR DISTANT VIEWING
This model utilizes a forward lighting system which affords a greater depth of field and the ability to view objects at greater distances.

This entry level EnviroCam offers in situ (in-process) observation and visual inspection of processes or testing taking place in clear or translucent liquids or gases under harsh conditions. The affordable EL Series offers much more capability than a borescope or endoscope. This system utilizes a rugged modular design that can be reconfigured to meet changing requirements. This unique design allows modules to be added to expand the system capabilities. Both EL Models incorporate a borescope (rigid, flexible or articulating), a hermetically sealed shroud with high purity sapphire window, lighting system and basic picture/video archiving capability. The shroud, borescope and camera are available separately to meet specialized applications. The result is a multipurpose, affordable optical instrument that provides for data storage, viewing, retrieval and analysis.
