High Temperature Radiation Resistant Video Camera

(OP)
I am looking for a miniature ( 40 - 70 mm Dia ) High Temperature ( 150 Deg ) operation Radiation Tolerant camera for some inspection work. I have looked at IST and Diakont. But no Luck ....

Can any one help me with this application ?

Did you find a high temperature radiation tolerant camera?  The IST R93 camera (40.5mm dia) operates at up to 160F in water and 130F in air.  IST has also supplied cooled radiation tolerant cameras.  Please let me know if you need further details or wish to discuss your particular application.

RE: High Temperature Radiation Resistant Video Camera

LongSteer VideoProbe.  This video probe can be made with radiation proof fibers that allow inspection in radiation area.  This product can be made in 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm diameters up to 100 feet long.  The 100 foot product can do 4 way articulation to allow great viewing angles.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
