The new CB-400 COBRA-4, a recent addition to the Spectronics Corp. COBRA series of multi-purpose borescopes, is outfitted with a dual-head blue and white light LED flashlight that makes it possible for inspectors and industrial technicians to perform leak detection or internal inspection of hard-to-reach areas, such as castings with complex or remote cavities.

According to the developer, the blue-light LED is an ideal tool for fluorescent leak detection, while the white-light LED is great for component inspection. A press-fit coupler allows quick and easy attachment of the flashlight to the borescope. The COBRA-4 has a super-thin 4mm, 36” shaft to get into crammed areas.

Included with the scope is a clip-on, angled inspection mirror that offers users the ability to detect flaws normally hidden from view. Three “AAA” alkaline batteries (included) power the flashlight. Fluorescence-enhancing glasses, for use with the blue light flashlight and fluorescent leak detection dyes, are included, too. (Dyes are sold separately.) All components are packed in a sturdy carrying case.
