Abstract
The otoscope comprises a head portion () including a through-hole () extending continuously from a proximal end to a distal end along a viewing path and a speculum receptacle () tapering towards the distal end and surrounding the through-hole (), wherein a speculum () is attachable to the speculum receptacle (). Lens means () including at least one lens () is configured to be movable from a viewing position, in which the lens () is arranged in the viewing path, to a clearance position, in which the lens () is arranged outside the viewing path. In the viewing position of the lens means () the lens () is arranged inside the through-hole () far enough for the distance between the lens () and the distal end () of an attached speculum () to be smaller than the focal length (F) of the lens ().
