Videtex detection technologies reveal defects invisible to conventional borescopes. UV fluorescence detects cracks and biofilms, thermal imaging finds hot spots, infrared reveals subsurface defects, and multispectral analysis identifies bacterial species—all in real-time.
Each technology reveals different defect types. Choose the right detection method for your application, or combine multiple technologies for comprehensive inspection coverage.
SpectraSwitch™ configurable UV illumination — 365 nm (FPI, Pseudomonas, moulds), 385 nm (AME food safety), 405 nm (porphyrin-rich bacteria) — reveals cracks, biofilms, and contamination invisible to the naked eye. Dual-wavelength configurations switchable in the field.
Key Applications:
Dual-wavelength UV (365 nm + 405 nm) differentiates bacterial biofilms from fungal contamination by exploiting distinct fluorophore emission profiles — 365 nm emits blue/green, 405 nm emits red/orange for porphyrin-rich bacteria.
Key Applications:
