Above the casing, there is brass instrumentation including a cylinder with graph paper attached with a needle and an upright glass bottle with brass stopper containing purple ink. The instrument has a 'home-made' look about it. It is possible that Dr Paul Mitchell may have assembled this apparatus himself.

Presumably the cost of a colposcope from Germany may have been prohibitively expensive for some gynaecologists in Australia.On the left side of the casing there is a spherometer dial which has an inscription that says 'Dr Rogers Tycos'. -
