Abstract
An improved infrared (IR) imaging arrangement for a turbine component inspection system includes a platform having a turbine component base feature to receive a turbine component for inspection. Disposed on the platform are a number of mirrors around the turbine component feature. The number of mirrors simultaneously reflects a number of sides/edges for detection by an IR imager. As a result, the IR imager simultaneously view more than one sides/edges of a turbine component.
