Abstract

A system for use with a component of a power generation apparatus includes a lens arrangement disposed proximal to the component. The system further includes a variable focal length structure spaced apart from the lens arrangement and optically coupled with the lens arrangement. The variable focal length structure has a focal plane that is adjustable. The system further includes a controller communicably coupled with the variable focal length structure. The controller is configured to control the variable focal length structure to adjust the focal plane of the variable focal length structure, such that at least one region of interest of the component is in focus.
