German term

adspektorisch

German to English Medical Zoology Tortoises
"Wenn die Gliedmaßen in den Panzer gedrückt werden, erkennt man übermäßigen Fettansatz am Hervortreten der Fettdepots. Anschließend wird die Haut adspektorisch untersucht."

The above sentence is a rather medical one which found its way into an otherwise relatively straightforward text about pet specifications. The word "adspektorisch" gets 150 hits in Google, but I simply cannot find an English equivalent.

Would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Many thanks


Ian
