Abstract: There is provided a medical examining device including a sample tube detachably connectable to a viewing tool having a fiber optic viewing device. The sample tube defines a tube first end and an opposing tube second end and includes a tube wall extending between the tube first and second ends. The tube wall includes tube inner and outer surfaces extending between the tube first and second ends. The tube inner surface defines a central sampling channel sized and configured to longitudinally receive a sampling tool. A longitudinal channel extends partially through the tube wall from the tube first end towards the tube second end. A translucent lens is positioned in optical communication with the longitudinal channel adjacent the tube second end. The fiber optic viewing device is removably insertable within the longitudinal channel to dispose the fiber optic viewing device in optical communication with the translucent lens.

Abstract: There is provided a medical examining device including an hollow sample tube defining a tube first end and an opposing tube second end. The sample tube includes a tube wall extending between the tube first and second ends. The tube wall includes tube inner and outer surfaces extending between the tube first and second ends. The tube inner surface defines a central sampling channel configured to longitudinally receive a sampling tool. A longitudinal channel partially extends through the tube wall between the tube first end towards the tube second end along an optical axis. The optical axis is angularly offset and extends toward the sampling channel axis adjacent the tube second end. A translucent lens is positioned in optical communication with the longitudinal channel adjacent the tube second end. A fiber optic viewing device is disposed within the longitudinal channel and is in optical communication with the translucent lens.
