Videoscope weighs only 1.5 lb.

By Kathie Zipp | February 8, 2012

The Olympus Iplex Ultralight weighs only 1.5 lb.

The IPLEX UltraLite videoscope weighs only 700 g (1.5 lb) with its lithium-ion battery. This easy-to-use device is so small and light that the company says it is a perfect companion for inspectors who works in areas with limited access or in cramped spaces or has to navigate narrow stair cases and steep ladders. The IPLEX UltraLite features quick, accurate articulation. The scope tip instantly and accurately responds to the articulation (thumb) control and approaches targets precisely for fast and efficient inspections.

For best direction and magnification covering various types of objects, the IPLEX UltraLite offers a range of interchangeable optical tip adaptors. In addition, the bright LED mounted on the tip adaptors clearly illuminates targets.
Operators are often called on to conduct inspections in difficult environments. The IPLEX UltraLite stands up to rain, sand and dust, and is compliant with IP55. The manufacturer says it is ideal for outdoor inspections, faithfully producing brilliant images, even in sunlight.

The Iplex UltraLite is equipped with the Olympus image processor to produce sharp and clear images, such as this one of an internal weld. Along with its color reproducing capability, the device lets users accurately detect even small defects. Images can be stored in a connected SD or SDHC card as high-quality JPEG still images and MPEG-4 movies.

    I am looking for specific information on cleaning our Olympus Iplex UltraLite. I was told alcohol would be a good cleaner for the lens and distal end tips, mild soap and water for the viewing screen. The alcohol seems to leave a slight film residue, and the cotton swabs are having a hard time wiping the film away. Anoother department is using n-propyl Bromide to clean the lens, is this a good alternative ? We were also considering a higher percentage alcohol to see if it cuts through the oil any better. We are in the wind turbine industry, and the turbines operate with synthetic oil. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thank you, G. R. Holan Jr cell: 630-433-7285
