1. Introduction
The SKF Endoscopes TKES 10 series are compact handheld instruments that allow the
user to view applications in restricted spaces that could not normally be seen with the
naked eye.
The TKES 10 series are supplied in a sturdy carrying case and consists of a display unit,
insertion tube, mains adapter and side view adapter. The display unit, with a 3.5” wide
angle TFT LCD screen, has the capacity of viewing, storing and reviewing photos and video
images. Images can also be displayed directly on a TV screen or stored and transferred
to a PC for viewing later. The display unit is powered by rechargeable Li-Ion battery and
a universal charger is included. To facilitate easy handling, the display unit has powerful
magnets on the back allowing it to be affixed to suitable surfaces.
The TKES 10 series are available with three different types of insertion tubes of 1 metre
(3.3 ft) length. All insertion tubes are equipped with powerful adjustable LED lighting.
TKES 10F
The TKES 10F has a flexible insertion tube,
with a tip diameter of 5,8 mm (0.23 in), is
ideal for use when the subject to be viewed
is in the direct line of sight and the tube
direction can be manipulated by the user.

tube, with a tip diameter of 5,8 mm

manipulation, such subjects can be viewed.

tube, with a tip diameter of 5,8 mm
