A colposcope is a low magnification, light-illuminated visualisations device for examining the cervix, across an area measuring approximately 20 to 30 mm in diameter, with enough distance between the colposcope lens and the cervix to accommodate the surgical instruments needed for the examination and/or treatment. It allows the examiner to view the epithelial tissues of the cervix and other anogenital areas.
