(Olympus: Waltham, MA) -- Olympus introduces the new IPLEX LX and IPLEX LT industrial videoscopes. These small and lightweight videoscopes, which are used for a wide range of remote visual inspections of parts or structures where access is limited, offer portability, ease of use, durability, and a host of practical features.

The IPLEX LX and LT are the most compact and lightweight of the IPLEX systems. They are one-third the size and approximately half the weight (2.7 kg, including battery) of the IPLEX FX, the most recent Olympus videoscope introduced. The reason for this small size is that the LCD monitor is built into a main operating unit that is just 64 mm wide (2.5 in.) excluding the handle. The LCD monitor uses a large 6.5-in. screen with low ambient reflection, permitting accurate inspection, even outdoors in direct sunlight. The size and weight makes the new IPLEX units ideal for applications where operator access is limited, such as inside boiler rooms, airplane fuselages, or wind turbine gear boxes.
