A system for inspecting a body cavity of a patient comprises an otoscope having a gripping body, a speculum having a narrow distal portion adapted to be placed in the body cavity of the patient and a wide proximal portion connectable to a top end of the gripping body, a viewing port connected to the top end of the gripping body to provide a line of sight through the speculum, and a light source connected to the top end of the gripping body configured to direct light through the speculum, where the speculum is substantially transparent.
