What magnification does the borescope offer? That sounds like a simple question doesn’t it? But it is more complicated than it sounds. Both microscopes and eye loupes usually have a very restrictive DOP (Depth of Field). They can only focus images at a certain distances and therefore, their magnification is very limited. A borescope, on the other hand, has an extensive DOF (Depth of ...
