Inspection seems to add redoubled energy (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

look see

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inspection' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'seems to add redoubled energy' is the wordplay.
'seems' becomes 'looks' ('look' can be a synonym of 'seem').
'to add' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'redoubled energy' becomes 'ee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'looks'+'ee'='LOOK-SEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for look see that I've seen before include "gander" , "Examination" , "survey?" , "Butcher" , "check" .)
