ABSTRACT:
An endoscope with deflected distal viewing, comprises a rigid tube containing observation means, themselves comprising a distal deflector prism having a viewing axis that is inclined relative to the axis of the tube, and ultraviolet light guide means housed in the tube and opening out at their distal end onto a prism for deflecting the illuminating light beam in a direction that is substantially parallel to the viewing axis. The invention applies in particular to inspecting parts by the penetration test technique in the aviation field.
