A small mirror on a long metal handle was invented in 1854 by a Spanish singing teacher Manuel Garcia (1805)- 1906) to study the vocal chords. In 1858 Ludwig Turck (1810-1868) and Johann Czermak (1828-1873) both published papers on use of the instrument, but Czermak invented a headband mirror to throw light on Laryngoscope mirror, an so on the throat.
