Abstract
A video inspection system includes first and second video cameras mounted along parallel axes. A lighting array is pulsed, and resultant light is reflected from a specimen to both cameras. Orientation of the specimen is determined in accordance with an image generated from a first camera. This data is used to isolate a selected portion of the specimen for analysis by an image generated from the second camera.
