The things I buy!

[Stustoys]

I was sick of not having any Germany optics, so pick up a Leisegang Colposcope today. I'll let you do your own research as to what its used for. I thought it might be useful but now I'm not so sure. Anyway its to late now I have it.
The cast iron base weighs in at 35kgs.
Its fixed focus at about 230mm with stereo convergent optics eye pieces and stereo camera.
The 2nd and 3rd pictures are the same. The 3rd is a small crop at full res. The 4th and 5th are through the scope at the same distance. The power is fixed. I'd been hopping for something a little less powerful but with more depth of field. Still the guy says a new one would set me back $15K so I cant complain to much.

He gave me a gas diffuser, bottle and hose to save him throwing them out lol

Is that the camera they shove up ya bum to take pictures? Just going by the name of it colposcope.

[Stustoys]

No its not. It is close, but you wouldnt have to worry about it RC.

:d:d

[welder]

google has reveled it's use but what you you plan on using it for ?

[Dave J]

You are right, the things you buy, LOL Looks interesting though.

Google says that this is very useful for photographing stuff in confined spaces, like up an exhaust pipe or something:roll:. It also looks very useful for magnifying faint markings on old plane blades and other tools.:rolleyes:

[Bryan]

You're a worry Stuart. :disgust1:

[Stustoys]

I blame BT. He has to many pretties in his shed.
Turns out the later models are multi power, from 7.5 - 30. But given what I paid for it I'm not complaining.
Maybe I should being it to scraping class and give scores? lol

Hi Stuart,

Hysteroflater?... cervical suction device?... what exactly ARE you up to...(actually, don't answer that, I don't think I want to know :) )

I seem to remember that GQ had a hobbyist interest in a closely related field...??? :)

I am not going to ask Stuart.......................

Colposcopy is a medical diagnostic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_diagnosis) procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervix) and the tissues of the vagina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina) and vulva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulva).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colposcopy#cite_note-pmid19375565-0) Many premalignant lesions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesion) and malignant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malignant) lesions in these areas have discernible characteristics which can be detected through the examination. It is done using a colposcope, which provides an enlarged view of the areas, allowing the colposcopist to visually distinguish normal from abnormal appearing tissue and take directed biopsies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsy) for further pathological examination. The main goal of colposcopy is to prevent cervical cancer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_cancer) by detecting precancerous lesions early and treating them. The procedure was developed in 1925 by the German (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany) physician Hans Hinselmann (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hans_Hinselmann&action=edit&redlink=1), with help from SS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS) Dr. Eduard Wirths (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduard_Wirths).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colposcopy#cite_note-urlThe_Deadly_Origins_Of_A_Life-saving_Procedure_.E2.80.93_Forward.com-1)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colposcopy#cite_note-2)
A specialized colposcope equipped with a camera is used in examining and collecting evidence for victims of rape and sexual assault.

That should compliment your speculum collection nicely Stu.:U

Well they told me its good to have a hobby ;)

I hadn't joined those dots yet Ray, my googling says Used for inflating body cavities. Its meters gas flow and mantains an intrauterine pressure at around 70mmHg(I make that about 1.35psi), at least thats what I think it does. I'm sure that will come in handy! lol

[Greg Q]

Can I borrow that rig next weekend? There's something I always wanted to try...:think:

[Oldneweng]

When I got Kamera home I had thought the clamps looked a little, well crappy. A little googling and it turns out I have a Leisegang Colposcope but its on a Zeiss Colposcope stand. So I grabbed some 50 x 40mm Alum bar, slit it down the middle in the bandsaw, bolted it back together, drilled, bored, polished the dings out of the Zeiss post the old clamps put in it and bolts it back together. Much better, it clamps the chrome pipe and can rotate on the alum post. Didnt get to finish the outside as I had to pack the mill vice for school lol.

You have been busy, came out great.:2tsup:

Who knows, you all may not sleep for the weekend after getting into Greg's coffee. LOL
