Filed:
Sep 1, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/298312
Inventors:

Abstract:
A portable apparatus useful for close range physical examinations, in particular for use as a colposcope, is described. The portable apparatus includes a stereoscopic optical unit, a main frame lens holder, an auxiliary frame lens holder, a light and mount therefor, a filter and mount therefor, and support structure which allows the component parts to be maintained in precise optical alignment and allows the apparatus to be worn by a user in the manner of eyeglasses. These components are constructed and arranged to provide for an undistorted short focal length and magnification as necessary for clear close range visualization of body tissue. The apparatus provides for increased magnification so that visualization of blood vessels and the like can be readily discerned without the need for bulky expensive equipment. This allows for screening and earlier diagnosis in a time and cost efficient manner.
