Plymouth, MI Perceptron, Inc (NASDAQ:PRCP) announced today its customer ROTHENBERGER USA, LLC ("Rothenberger") launched its new ROSCOPE(TM) 500 handheld video inspection device into the US market.

The ROSCOPE(TM) 500 is the newest product in Rothenberger's line of professional grade inspection cameras and can effortlessly navigate through a standard 1½-inch P-Trap, one of the toughest challenges for optical plumbing devices.
