Claim 0:
1. A self-imaging device for imaging a body portion and having a longitudinal axis and comprising an axially extending base, a camera located within the base and a guide element for transmitting light along a path that extends between the camera and an exposed tip of the guide element that opens out to an exterior of the self-imaging device, wherein
the base is configured to be manually held and operated by a user imaging his own body portion and the self-imaging device comprising a coupling region at an axial forward side of the base that is configured for coupling to ancillary devices,
the exposed tip of the guide element is located in a hub portion that is comprised in the coupling region, the hub portion being surrounded by a peripheral slit,
the coupling region comprises anchoring members at a periphery of the hub portion that face into the slit for ensuring a pre-defined orientation that an ancillary device can be coupled to the coupling region, the anchoring members at the periphery of the hub portion comprise a key-way and a planar face,
the key-way being in form of an axially extending slot that extends in a rear direction from a forward opening of the key-way,
the coupling region comprises further anchoring members in form of a planar face formed at a radial outer side of the slit opposite to key-way and an outer planar face formed at a radial outer side of the slit opposite the planar face on the outer periphery of the hub portion.
