A device is provided for a user to self-diagnose areas of the human body when those areas are treated with a disclosing material which is invisible to the naked eye, but which fluoresces when subjected to appropriately filtered light. In particular the device provides mirror and light-filtering portions such that the user may diagnose areas of his or her oral cavity when treated with and differentiated by the disclosing fluorescent material.

A non-electrified optical handpiece for viewing an area of the user\s body which has been treated with a dye or other material that fluoresces when subjected to appropriately filtered light, whereby the fluorescent material when illuminated improves differentiation between diseased and healthy portions of said area, said optical handpiece consisting essentially of: (a) a single unitary substantially uni-planar optical member having a surface of which a portion is at least partially mirrored so as to be capable of reflecting light from a source remote from said handpiece, and another portion of which is at least partially transparent so as to be capable of transmitting said light, and (b) a light filtering material covering at least a portion of said optical member\s transparent portion for filtering said light and providing a filtered light sufficient to fluoresce said fluorescent material.
