It is also easily sampled using simple biopsy instruments and does not require anaesthesia, being in principle suitable for large scale field studies.
The speculum has been developed by Mark Dagleish at the Moredun Research Institute.
The speculum RecSpec™ makes the whole procedure relatively simple by exposing the relevant area and by colour to accentuate detail.
The speculum exposes the biopsy area and is self retaining. The green colour makes visualisation of the biopsy zone easier.
