Abstract
A diagnostic instrument system includes a compact instrument housing having an interior for containing an illumination system and an optical viewing system for illuminating and viewing a target, both systems being arranged within the housing. The housing is separably and interchangeably mounted to a pair of supporting stand fixtures, each fixture having interfacing handle portions to which the instrument can be selectively attached without modification. The interfacing handle portions include electrical and video connections which interface with the optical and illumination systems of the instrument housing when attached to either fixture.
