The present duel-scope colonoscopy system has a primary or parent colonoscope substantially typical of the field, but adapted to incorporate a separate, extended reach secondary or auxiliary colonoscope tool. The insertion tube of the secondary colonoscope tool is received in a tool channel of the parent scope, and is “extended reach” in that the secondary insertion tube is extendable from the tip of the primary insertion tube of the parent scope an additional distance beyond the reach of the primary scope tube. The secondary colonoscope tool is a separate and complete image viewing fiberoptic colonoscope having a flexible, small diameter fiberoptic cable insertion tube of a length sufficient to substantially extend beyond a distal end the insertion tube of the parent endoscope.

The present optical image viewing fiberoptic otoscope electromagnetically passive. A body portion is connectable to a light source and has mounted to it a fiberoptic cable and an optical viewer. The fiberoptic cable is thin and flexible, and contains separate light and image transmission paths. Its distal end is adapted for emitting and receiving light. The body includes a light source connection for interfacing an external light source. An optical-type image viewer attached to the body is in light communication with the image path for displaying a received image for viewing by a user. One or more tools are mountable to the otoscope body or fiberoptic cable for performing an operation at the distal end of the fiberoptic cable, e. g. , removal of a material from the site. Optionally, the otoscope body may be mounted to a headband via an articulated support arm.
