A device enables borescope inspection of turbine blades of a high-pressure turbine stage of a jet engine. The device has a bend-free guide pipe for introducing a flexible borescope. The device also has: a guide for the guide pipe, the guide being configured to provide clear and reproducible positioning and orientation of the guide pipe; and a securing device configured to releasably secure the guide to an outer side of the jet engine. The securing device is configured to adjust the guide to a predetermined orientation with respect to the outer side of the jet engine. The guide pipe is rigid and shaped in such a manner that an end of the guide pipe that is introduced into the jet engine when the guide is orientated correctly is orientable so as to be directed between two predetermined guide blades.
