Specialized attachments have been designed and produced for the purpose of taking tympanic membrane photographs (Kowa RC 2 Fundus Camera). A doublespeculum technique made it possible to clean the ear canal of wax, hair, and loose canal epithelium through the mounted speculum. The unmounted speculum acted as a guide for insertion, provided a shield for the mounted speculum against hair, wax, and epithelial debris, and equally important, insulated the sensitive bony external auditory canal from direct trauma. Teaching slides were obtained by ×2 enlargement of the original negative (Ektachrome) that was taken with the ×2 lens in place. The ease of use, availability, portability, and reliability make this a desirable instrument for the otologist. More than 2,000 photographs of the tympanic membrane have been taken, with highquality photographic results.
