Abstract: A device and method for catching a biological specimen removed from an individual. The device includes at least an inlet channel; an outlet channel; a main chamber having an interior wall and an exterior wall, wherein the main chamber is in fluid communication with the inlet channel and is in fluid communication with the outlet channel; and a receiving structure attached to at least a portion of the interior wall or the exterior wall of the main chamber and positioned such that it does not obstruct either the inlet channel or the outlet channel, wherein the receiving structure is further configured to receive a light emitting body for illuminating the main chamber of the device before catching the biological specimen removed from an individual. The device is connected to a medical scope and a vacuum system. When the device is placed under suction, the biological specimen is extracted and trapped on the removable filter of the device.
