Claim:
A non-destructive inspection device for inspecting a feature of a structure, the inspection device comprising: an actuating portion having at least one magnet, wherein the actuating portion is structured for placement on a first surface of the structure such that the actuating portion is movable relative to the structure; and an inspecting portion comprising a housing, a moveable inspection sensor and at least one magnet, wherein the inspecting portion is structured for positioning on a second surface of the structure opposite the first surface such that the inspecting portion is magnetically coupled to the actuating portion so that movement of the actuating portion causes the inspecting portion to move in concert with the actuating portion without the inspecting portion directly contacting the actuating portion; wherein the inspection sensor is at least one of selectively moveable relative to the housing of the inspecting portion in a direction generally toward and/or away from the actuating portion or selectively rotatable about an axis that is generally aligned with the direction of motion of the actuating portion and inspecting portion.
