Note 1	Hawkeye Pro Rigid Borescopes can be made to operate up to 300 deg. C on a custom Basis. Contact us to discuss this in further detail.
Note 2	These scopes were not designed to operate below 0º. However, several of our customers have successfully used the scopes in liquid Nitrogen at 77 deg. K.
Pressure	All Hawkeye borescopes were designed for use at ambient pressure only. However, we have several customers who have successfully used Hawkeye Borescopes at pressures up to 500 PSI and down to 10-6 Torr. As the scopes were not specifically designed for this, the operator does so at their own risk.
Chemical Resistance	All Hawkeye Pro Rigid borescope tubes are water tight and are resistant to most hydrocarbons such as oils, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, jet fuel, etc. (excludes the eyepiece) Exposure to Acids and strong Alkali should be avoided as it will attack the optical window.
