DERMATOSCOPE

DERMATOSCOPE

Machine Details:


The principle of dermatoscope is to use magnification and lighting to visualize skin structures that are not visible to the naked eye. The basic steps of dermatoscope are:

  • Transilluminator
  • Magnify
  • Reduce reflection
  • Visualize
  • Transilluminate
    Light is incident on the skin, undergoing reflection, refraction, diffraction, and absorption
  • Magnify
    A dermatoscope, a handheld instrument with built-in magnification and illumination, is used to study the lesion in high magnification. 
  • Reduce reflection
    A liquid medium, like oil or alcohol, is placed between the skin and the dermatoscope to reduce reflection.
  • Visualize
    The dermatoscope allows for the visualization of skin structures in the epidermis, papillary dermis, and at the dermoepidermal junction.
 

APPLICATION

How does a dermatoscope work?
A dermatoscopy is a hand-held device that features a light source and a magnifier and works like a magnifying glass.

  • Magnifier
    According to a 2015 study, Trusted Source, traditional dermatoscopy magnifies the view of the skin by 10 times. Video dermatoscopes can increase this to around 70–100 times.
  • Light
    The light on the dermatoscope helps specially illuminate the skin, allowing a doctor to examine lesions without the light bouncing off of dry or oily skin, which would make it more difficult to see.
  • Pictures
    Dermatoscopes can also take pictures as people use them. Doctors may examine these photos later.

  • Bright light with 32 LEDs
  • Small Contact plate 8mm for examination of narrow and hard reach areas
  • Smartphone and camera compatibility Protect glass (Contact plate) with easy detachable magnetism
  • Automatic shut down after 5 min. idle run
