An adaptable inspection unit includes an attachment mechanism, an inspection sensor device, a data port that is capable of transmitting information, and a power port that is connectable to a power source, all of which are physically connected together. The adaptable inspection unit also includes a memory circuit and a processor circuit. The processing circuit controls the inspection sensor device and writes information transmitted via the data port. The attachment mechanism is a mounting bracket, a mounting bracket receptacle, a weldable material, a clamp, an adhesive, a magnet, a latch, a lock, a locating pin, a rail, a slide, locking pin, a bolt, a screw, gravity or friction. The attachment mechanism is used to connect the adaptable inspection unit to a processing line such that the adaptable inspection unit is capable of capturing an image of a sample traveling along the processing line.
