Olympus IPLEX TX videoscope

The Olympus IPLEX TX videoscope is a small-bore inspection camera designed to reach almost any narrow or winding area. It has an ultra-thin 2.4 mm diameter, which makes it ideal for routine inspection of castings, molds, and other parts with small cavities. The IPLEX TX videoscope is the world’s only articulating videoscope with a 2.4 mm diameter tip. It also features excellent durability, with an abrasion strength 200 times greater than previous models. Its large 6.5-inch LCD monitor displays clear and bright images of areas under inspection.

Features
