In a fire tube boiler, combustion takes place in elongated boiler tubes, which are subject to corrosion, wear, deposition build-up and color changes. A cylindrical camera body, round in cross-section, is inserted into a still-hot boiler tube. The camera body is cooled by cooling fluid and is pushed along the tube using extension rods. A motion picture film strip, preferably color instant film within a cassette, is advanced by remote control, by the operator, to expose a sequence of film frames on the cassette's film plane, as the camera body is progressed within the tube. The tube is dark so that a camera shutter is not used. Instead, tiny light sources, such as incandescent bulbs and/or a swingable mirror, are used to select the exposure time of the film. A fixed-focus and fixed-distance lens system focuses the images from the tube's inner wall on the film plane.

A microscope slide illumination system is adapted for the side lighting of particles suspended in liquid, where the liquid is retained in a depression in a microscope slide. The system includes a laser source of light, an optic fiber bundle to conduct the laser light, and a single fiber, preferably having a focused lens tip, to focus the laser light into the slide depression. In one embodiment a single optical fiber is located in a bore of the slide and in another embodiment the free ends of a group of single optical fibers terminate around the slide depression.
