Dear Stockholder:

Another proxy season is upon us, and we are pleased to be able to provide you with enhancements that offer you added convenience as well as an opportunity to help your company control costs when you vote your shares.

In particular, we are pleased to offer you three ways to vote your proxy. Of course, you may continue to vote by paper, as you have in the past. But some of you wanted to have the added convenience of voting by telephone and the Internet, and we are now able to offer you those voting methods as well. We are sure most of you are aware of how convenient telephone and on-line voting can be. However, we are surprised to learn how much more affordable they are for your company as well. For example, if you return your paper vote through regular mail, the approximate cost to your company is 50 cents. However, if you choose to vote by dialing the toll-free telephone number or on-line via the Internet, the approximate cost to inTEST is just 18 cents. Directions are printed on the enclosed proxy card for whichever method you would like to choose.

Thank you for your continued support of inTEST Corporation.

Sincerely yours,

/s/Hugh T. Regan, Jr.
Hugh T. Regan, Jr.

PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held June 11, 2003

This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are intended to be sent or given to stockholders of inTEST Corporation on or about May 12, 2003, in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of our Board of Directors for use at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2003, at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, at our offices, 7 Esterbrook Lane, Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

The following questions and answers present important information pertaining to the meeting:

Q:	Who is entitled to vote?	Q:	How does the board recommend that I vote on each proposal?
A:	Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 25, 2003 may vote at the annual meeting.	A:	The board recommends a vote FOR each board nominee and FOR the ratification of our independent auditors.

Q:	How many shares can vote?	Q:	How do I vote my shares?
A:	There were 8,324,357 shares issued and outstanding as of the close of business on April 25, 2003 (excluding shares held by one of our subsidiaries which may not be voted or counted towards a quorum). Every stockholder may cast one vote for each share owned.	A:	The answer depends on whether you own your inTEST shares directly (that is, you hold stock certificates that show your name as the registered stockholder) or if your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee holder.

Q: A:	What may I vote on? You may vote on the following items: the election of seven directors who have been nominated to serve on our board of directors; ratification of the appointment by the Board of Directors of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2003; and any other business that is properly presented at the meeting.		If you own inTEST shares directly: your proxy is being solicited directly by us, and you can vote by paper, telephone or Internet, or you can vote in person if you attend the meeting.

			If you vote by paper, please do the following: (1) sign and date the enclosed proxy card, (2) mark the boxes indicating how you wish to vote, and (3) return the proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote, the proxies will vote your shares FOR each of the nominees named on the proxy card, FOR the one proposal submitted to the stockholders for approval and in their discretion on all other matters.
Q:	Will any other business be presented for action by stockholders at the meeting?
A:	Management knows of no business that will be presented at the meeting other than that which is set forth in this proxy statement. If any other matter properly comes before the meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card intend to vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters) in accordance with their best judgment.		If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you will find instructions on the enclosed proxy card that you should follow. There may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, that must be borne by the stockholder.



Q:	How do I vote my shares? (Continued)	Q:	How many shares do the directors and officers of inTEST beneficially own, and how do they plan to vote their shares?
	If you hold your inTEST shares through a broker, bank or other nominee: you will receive a voting instruction card directly from the nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you receive a voting instruction card, you can vote by completing and returning the voting instruction card. You may also be able to vote by telephone or via the Internet. Please refer to the instructions provided with your voting instruction card for information about voting in these ways.	A:	Directors and executive officers, who, as of April 25, 2003, had beneficial ownership (or had the right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty days following April 25, 2003) of approximately 26% of our outstanding common stock, are expected to vote, or direct the voting of their shares, in favor of the election of the nominees for director and the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors.
		Q:	Who will count the votes?
	If you hold your shares through a nominee and want to vote at the meeting: you must obtain a "legal proxy" from the nominee recordholder authorizing you to vote at the meeting.	A:	Our transfer agent will count the votes cast by proxy. The Assistant Secretary of inTEST will count the votes cast in person at the meeting and will serve as the Inspector of Election.
Q:	What if I want to change my vote or revoke my proxy?	Q:	What is the effect if I abstain or withhold my vote?
A: Q:	A registered stockholder may change his or her vote or revoke his or her proxy, at any time before the meeting by notifying our corporate secretary, Hugh T. Regan, Jr., in writing, that you revoke your proxy. You may then vote in person at the meeting or submit a new proxy card. You may contact our Transfer Agent to get a new proxy card. We will count your vote in accordance with the last instructions we receive from you, whether they are received by Internet or telephone or by paper. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and wish to change your vote, you must follow the procedures required by your nominee. What is a quorum?	A: Q:	Withheld votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Abstentions will have the same effect as a "no" vote on the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors. What is the effect if I fail to give instructions to my broker?
		A:	If your shares are held by a nominee recordholder and you sign but do not give instructions on the voting instruction card, your nominee recordholder may not have authority to vote your shares on all proposals. If a bank, broker or other nominee holding shares on behalf of a stockholder does not receive voting instructions from the stockholder by a specified date before the meeting, and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on one or more proposals, the shares will not be voted for those proposals. This is called a broker non-vote. Generally, banks, brokers and other nominees have discretionary authority to vote shares on matters that are deemed routine. All of the proposals submitted to the stockholders at this meeting are considered routine matters. Therefore, brokers, banks and other nominees will have discretion to vote on all the proposals without instructions from the stockholder, so your shares will be voted in favor of the election of the nominees for director and the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors.

A:	The presence at the meeting (in person or by proxy) of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum. A quorum must be present at the meeting in order to convene the meeting.
A:
Q:	How will directors be elected?
A: Q:	A plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is required for the election of directors. What vote is required to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2003?
A:	To ratify the appointment, a majority of the shares of stock that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting must be voted in favor of the ratification.	Q: A:	Who can attend the meeting? All stockholders are invited to attend the meeting.

Q:	Do the directors and officers of inTEST have an interest in the matters to be voted on?	Q:	Are there any expenses associated with collecting the stockholder votes?
A:	Our directors and officers will not receive any special benefit as a result of the outcome of the matters to be voted on, except that our non-employee directors will receive compensation for such service as described elsewhere in this proxy statement under the heading "Director Compensation."	A:	We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and other materials to our stockholders. We do not anticipate hiring an agency to solicit votes from stockholders at this time. Officers and other employees of inTEST may solicit proxies in person or by telephone but will receive no special compensation for doing so.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 25, 2003 (except where otherwise noted) by:

each of our Named Executive Officers;
each of our directors whose nomination is described herein;
all directors whose nomination is described herein and executive officers as a group; and
each stockholder known by inTEST to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock.

Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 8,324,357 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 25, 2003 (excluding shares held by one of our subsidiaries which may not be voted or counted towards a quorum). We have determined beneficial ownership in the table in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by any person and the percentage ownership of that person, we have deemed shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable by June 24, 2003 to be outstanding. However, we have not deemed these shares to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes below, each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such stockholder.

Stock Options

During the year ended December 31, 2002, we did not grant any stock options to the Named Executive Officers. However, on August 16, 2002, we commenced a voluntary stock option exchange program for certain of our outstanding options. Several of our Named Executive Officers and Directors along with other of our employees were eligible to participate in the exchange. Under the program, participants were given the right to forfeit certain outstanding stock options previously granted to them at an exercise price greater than or equal to $9.5625 per share, in exchange for the right to receive a new option to buy shares of our common stock to be granted on February 24, 2003. In total, 340,000 stock options were cancelled on August 23, 2002 as a result of this program, and 340,000 stock options were granted on February 24, 2003. The exchange program did not result in any compensation charges or variable option plan accounting, as it was designed to comply with Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transac tions Involving Stock-Based Compensation ("FIN No.44"). The new options had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the new grant date ($3.04), so no compensation expense was recorded as a result of the issuance of the new options.

Exercise of Stock Options and Option Values

The following table sets forth information regarding the exercise of stock options and the value of any unexercised stock options of each of our Named Executive Officers who exercised or held options during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002:

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Officer Compensation and Repricing of Options

The Compensation Committee approves the compensation for all of our executive officers and acts on such other matters relating to their compensation as it deems appropriate. During 2002, the members of the Committee were Dr. Daniels and Messrs. Endres, Holt, Slayton and Greed. The Committee also administers, with respect to key employees, our stock option plan and determines the participants in such plan and the amount, timing and other terms and conditions of awards under such plan.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The Committee is committed to the general principle that overall executive compensation should be commensurate with our performance and that of the individual executive officers, and that long-term incentives awarded to such executive officers should be aligned with the interests of our stockholders. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract and retain executive officers who will contribute to our long-term success, to reward the achievement of our desired goals, and to provide compensation opportunities that are linked to our performance and that directly link the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders.

Our executive compensation program provides a level of compensation opportunity that is competitive for companies in comparable industries and of comparable development, complexity and size and consists of three components: salary, bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options. In determining compensation levels, the Committee considers a number of factors, including our performance, both separately and in relation to other companies within the semiconductor capital equipment industry, the individual performance of each executive officer, comparative compensation surveys concerning compensation levels and stock grants at other companies, our historical compensation levels and stock awards, and the overall competitive environment for executive officers and the level of compensation necessary to attract and retain key executive officers. Compensation levels may be greater or less than competitive levels in other companies within the semiconductor equipment industry based upon factors such as our annual and long-term performance and individual performance.

Salary. Our Chief Executive Officer proposes to the Committee the salaries of all executive officers after consideration of a variety of factors. The Committee considers these recommendations and its own assessments of these factors in making its final determination of each executive officer's base salary. During 2002, the principal factors considered by our Chief Executive Officer and the Committee were the current state of the industry, our operating losses and management's forecasts of our future operating results. In addition, we considered that all of our executive officers had taken reductions in base salary ranging from 20% to 30% during 2001. Based upon the foregoing, we determined that no change in the existing base salaries of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers was appropriate in 2002.

Bonus. In connection with setting the base salary for each executive officer, the Committee also determines the annual bonus formula or amount that will be paid to each executive officer. Generally, the annual bonus for executive officers whose efforts had a direct effect on our profitability, including the Chief Executive Officer, was based upon a percentage of our pre-tax profits, depending upon the individual's responsiblity. As a result of our operating losses in 2002, no bonuses were paid to executive officers relating to our performance in 2002.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Committee periodically considers whether to grant awards under our stock option plan to specific executive officers based on factors including: the executive officer's position; his or her performance and responsibilities; the extent to which he or she already holds our equity; equity participation levels of comparable executive officers and key employees at other similar companies; and the executive officer's individual contribution to our overall performance. The plan does not provide any formula for weighing these factors, and a decision to grant an award is primarily based upon a subjective evaluation of the past as well as the future anticipated performance and responsibilities of the executive officer in question.

No options were granted in 2002, however, we commenced a voluntary stock option exchange program for certain of our outstanding options. This program was offered to all option holders, including executive officers and directors, whose options had exercise prices greater than or equal to $9.5625 per share. As a result of the prolonged downturn in the semiconductor capital equipment industry and the impact this has had on the market price of our common stock, the exercise price of these options was significantly above market price and no longer offered the incentive that had originally been intended. Thus, participants were offered the opportunity to forfeit such old options in exchange for the right to receive new options six months and a day later, with the new option to have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on such future date of grant. The new options were granted in 2003 with an exercise price of $3.04. We believe that this exchange program is consistent with our goals of using long-term i ncentives as a means of promoting inTEST's long-term financial objectives.

In summary, it is the opinion of the Committee that the executive compensation program provides the necessary total remuneration package to properly align our performance and the interests of our stockholders with competitive and equitable executive compensation in a balanced and reasonable manner, for both the short and long-term.

Change of Control Agreements

On April 17, 2001, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with Messrs. Matthiessen and Regan. These Change of Control Agreements provide that, upon termination of their employment with us without cause (as defined in the agreements) within two years following a change of control (as defined in the agreements), or termination by the executive officer for good reason (as defined in the agreements) within two years following a change of control, each is entitled to the following for a period of one year following termination:

a.	payment of base salary on the same basis paid immediately prior to termination;
b.	payment of any bonus the executive officer would otherwise be eligible to receive for the year in which the termination occurs and for that portion of the following year which falls within a period of one year following termination; and
c.	continuation of all fringe benefits the executive officer was receiving immediately prior to the termination.

Notwithstanding the above, the benefits under the Change of Control Agreements will be reduced to the extent that the payments would not be deductible by us (in whole or in part) under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee consists of Dr. Daniels, Chairman, and Messrs. Endres, Holt, Slayton and Greed. Mr. Holt is one of our executive officers. Dr. Daniels provides us with consulting services relating to intellectual property matters. In connection with such services, Dr. Daniels was paid fees totaling approximately $58,000 during 2002.

Audit Committee Report

During 2002, the Committee consisted of the following members of our Board of Directors: Richard O. Endres, Chairman, Gregory W. Slayton and James J. Greed, Jr. Each of the current members of the Committee is independent and financially literate as defined under the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. The Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors which was included as an appendix to our proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2001.

The Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements with management. The Committee has discussed the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) with KPMG LLP, our independent auditors. The Committee has received written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (which relates to the accountant's independence from us and our subsidiaries) and has discussed with KPMG LLP their independence from us and our related entities.

Based on the review and discussions referenced above, the Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Audit Committee:
Richard O. Endres, Chairman
Gregory W. Slayton
James J. Greed, Jr.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

KPMG LLP has been our independent auditors since our incorporation in 1981. Our Board of Directors has selected KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the current year. This appointment will be submitted to the stockholders for ratification at the meeting.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, we paid the following amounts to KPMG LLP:

Audit Fees:	$213,699
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees:	$ --
All Other Fees:	$219,278

"All Other Fees" represent fees paid for tax consultation and tax compliance services. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining KPMG LLP's independence.

A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the meeting. He will be given an opportunity to make a statement if he desires and will be available to respond to appropriate questions by stockholders. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of this firm, the selection of another firm of independent auditors will be considered by the Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding the approval of this proposal by our stockholders, our Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct appointment of a new accounting firm at any time during the year if it believes that such a change would be in our best interests. No such change is anticipated.

Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We paid fees totaling approximately $58,000 during 2002 for consulting services relating to intellectual property matters provided to us by Stuart F. Daniels, Ph.D., one of our directors.

Hakuto Co. Ltd., one of our principal stockholders, distributes some of our products in Japan. During 2002, our Temptronic subsidiary sold approximately $1.9 million in products to Hakuto and its subsidiaries for distribution. At December 31, 2002, Temptronic's accounts receivable included approximately $14,000 due from Hakuto. All sales to Hakuto were at market price and on customary terms.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, certain officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These officers, directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during 2002, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to these officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were timely met.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
