摘要:
Data acquisition devices (102) for analyzing reference objects (40) and systems (100) for monitoring turbine component (10) deformation are provided. A data acquisition device (102) has a longitudinal axis (104) and includes a lens assembly (110) and an image capture device (120) in communication with the lens assembly (110) for receiving and processing light from the lens assembly (110) to generate images (312). The data acquisition device (102) further includes a light source (130) and a light tube (140) coupled at a rear end (144) to the light source (130). The light tube (140) extends along the longitudinal axis (104) between a front end (142) and the rear end (144), and is operable to transport light from the light source (130) therethrough and emit the light from the front end (142). The data acquisition device (102) further includes an actuator (180) operable to activate the image capture device (120) and the light source (130).
