Speculum (medical)

A speculum (Latin for "mirror"; plural specula or speculums) is a medical tool for investigating body orifices, with a form dependent on the orifice for which it is designed. In old texts, the speculum may also be referred to as a diopter or dioptra.〔"diopter" in ''The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary'', Oxford University Press, 1971〕 Like an endoscope, a speculum allows entry into a body cavity; endoscopes, however, tend to have optics while a speculum is intended for direct vision.
==History==

Vaginal and anal specula were used by the ancient Greeks and Romans,〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Univ. of Virginia )〕 and speculum artifacts have been found in Pompeii. A vaginal speculum, developed by J. Marion Sims, consists of a hollow cylinder with a rounded end that is divided into two hinged parts, somewhat like the beak of a duck. The speculum is inserted into the vagina to dilate it for examination of the vagina and cervix.
