Whether it is a Series C, IPLEX Ultralite or IPLEX RT Olympus has a videoscope that will make your repeat inspections quicker and more reliable. This webinar will highlight how the specific features of these Olympus videoscopes can help you solve challenges like constant searching, long set up time, difficult pathways and hard to reach areas. Real world examples of repeat inspections will be used, including: checking for FOD, engine inspection, general academic inspections, casting inspections and more. We’ll show you capabilities like pairing superior lensing and imaging technology to provide high quality images, articulation that allows better maneuverability, and overall ease of use.
