endoscope/borescope photography

[Beth]

Hi all,

I saw a few threads from several years ago about experimenting with endoscopes for the interior of small hollow objects. Has anyone had any success with this?

We have a lot of cultural heritage objects with interesting interiors we'd like to model, things like small vessels with narrow openings but also things like ceramic animal-shaped whistles where the interior isn't a simple cylinder. Super high resolution is not necessarily needed.

We're especially curious about things like control over the positioning of the endoscope, lighting adjustments, and aligning endoscope photos with exterior photos. Specific equipment recommendations are also very much appreciated!

Hi Beth,

I found this from 2017

and a newer dissertation by Kun Zhan from 2022:

so it's not only possible. 


Best regards,

Kiesel
