- The borescope technique is based on a optic fiber device which can be inserted in an oxygen sensor hole (or other openings) and maneuvered through the exhaust system up to the catalyst. In this case it is possible to only a visual check, without being able to define it morphology, nor the chemical composition of the catalytic converter.
