Can the end of the otoscope be detached, so it can be used as a penlight to check pupil reflexes? Anyone tried to check the pupils with it?

Yes, you can remove it to use as penlight. I tried to use this for my kids' eye to check their pupils but they shun because its bright.

I only check my daughter's ears. pupils are too dangerous, my daughters are moving around. hard to control them.

It is not possible to use on yourself. To look in the ear canal, you have to be able to use one hand to hold the ear, and, then, the other hand to hold the otoscope. And, each ear canal is different, so, it's hard to know how to hold the ear to see all the way to the ear drum. Oh, if we only could......

NO! NO! NO! The kit I got (purple) did NOT have a pupil gauge on the pen light.

I returned the otoscope as most of the ones I found in medical school didn't fit.I'm not sure about that. Sorry.

At the end of the pen where the light shines there are ridges on the side. Pull the ridged area straight out and you will see three tiny hearing aid type batteries. It does take pressure to pull this out; I used pliers and it then came out easily and did not damage the pen or light. Any more questions, let me know.

Very unlikely, although it would depend on the dog. The unit is easily confused by hair. It also requires a good shot at the forehead or another spot that leaks heat easily. Inside the mouth generally does not work well. Around the eyes can work, but often the eyeball itself reflects too much IR for an accurate reading. To take a reading from a dog, you would need either a dog with a large forehead and very little hair (perhaps a weimaraner, but I wouldn't count on it) or you would need to take a reading from inside the ear. This might be accurate (the ear canal would "leak heat" due to high blood flow and has little hair) but I wouldn't count on it. Very unlikely, although it would depend on the dog.

The two curettes that included are the ring and scoop with the latter is smaller that may work. However, ear cleaning should only be done by professional. Use the otoscope to detect problem.

If you are referring to the rear sight aperture(the little circle that you look through), no. If it is loose or unstable, you will have a serious problem with maintaining zero. Ultimately, no part should have free movement and if any part does, could result in unmanageable inaccuracy.

Good question, i use it for the same reason. As for its function its a really small scope, so steady hands and good eyes(and patients) are required. It takes a little time to focus it but it does allow you to see when your trichs are ready. For the price its worth it but if you can afford a bigger better quality one i would go with that. The built in light works well though. The over all size of is a little bigger than a large thumb (if that helps at all).

Yes! The handle has a dinner that will work with all compatible attachments (otoscope, ophthalmoscope, bent light, etc)

i hav not used it enough to test it out. maybe good to go to manufacture sight and ask at least what it potentially shoould do.

Hello Matthew,Yes, it comes off and it can be remounted to use with the left eye. It's very easy to remove and swap over to use on the left side. Hope that helps.

Yes it can and the piece that goes on top of ur head comes off also it's been good for me one thing I will say is don't over tighten the flash light piece cause it will break but It comes with two I think go on YouTube and check nutnfancy he posted a review on this item
1996838
yes, but the only way you can see the object if to place it practically attached to the lenses. this Item its not worth it for what its intended to use.

Interesting question...especially why you'd want a red light...hmmm?:) Seriously though...I'm examining it right now and it seems it would be difficult to do without cracking the plastic casing that surrounds the lens. IMHO it wouldn't work but...Hope that helps:)

If you remove battery, you could use the magnifier w/o the light. There is no on-off button for light. My earlier review said light didn't work. I tried again and it worked. Still think the uses for this are very limited.
