The Burrowing Owl, a California Species of Special Concern isn’t your average owl: it doesn’t live in trees, and it’s not nocturnal. It makes its nest underground — usually in abandoned rodent burrows — and is active both day and night. But human population explosion has reduced the charismatic western burrowing owl’s breeding populations by [...]

Micro Borescopes as small as 0.5 mm (0.019 in) are used to inspect inside the smallest areas on turbines blades. Turbine blades and vanes have cooling holes to direct air inside and help reduce the temperature of the blade or vane in areas such as the combustion section of a gas turbine. Small diameter micro [...]

It is common to see the term “boroscope” and the term “borescope” used to describe the same remote visual inspection equipment. This may be confusing to someone looking for their first remote visual inspection equipment.
My understanding is that the correct spelling is “borescope” and that “boroscope” is a misspelling. However, both are perfectly acceptable and [...]
