Olympus America Inc's. Industrial
Products Group has recently
released a new brochure that details
the latest developments in its
Videoimagescope systems for remote
visual inspection of internal machin-
ery, tanks, valves, heat exchangers,
turbines, and other hard-to-see
places. The 6-mm-diameter Video-
imagescope Model IV6C5, which is
described in the brochure, has a flex-
ible probe that contains a small CCD
(Charged Coupled Device) image
sensor. The probe reportedly needs
an access hole to the interior of
equipment of less than 1/4 inch and
is available in probe lengths ranging
from 6.6 ft. to 52.5 ft. (2 m to 16 m).
The instrument provides high-reso-
lution, true-color images in real
time, without motion blur or "rain-
bow" effect.

When it comes to demanding ma-
rine gauging requirements, you can
rely on Metritape's 30 years' experi-
ence to do the job right. We
are best known for gauging
cargo but our level sensors
perform just as well in draft,
ballast, fuel and service tanks.
Other level gauging sup-
pliers reserve high perfor-
mance sensors for cargo,
offering lower performance
level sensors for other tanks.
