Dermlite-Oil Free Pocket Epiluminescence Microscopy
DermLite-Oil Free Pocket Epiluminescence Microscopy,the original choice for oil-free pocket epiluminescence microscopy.DermLite DL100 speeds up the early detection of melanoma with enhanced visualization of pigmented skin lesions-without the use of oil.This digital imaging photography incorporates diode lighting technology for bright-white,natural illumination,a 10x Hastings Triplet lens and advanced cross-polarization technology,DermLite allows for a clear and deep view into pigmented lesions for early detection of melanoma and dysplastic nevi in a matter of seconds.The DermLite incorporates cross-polarization filters that reduce reflection of light from the surface of the skin and permits visualization of the deeper structures.The light from the white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs),is polarized linearly by a special filter and the image being viewed through the magnifying lens is also linearly polarized so as to cancel out the reflected light from the surface of the skin.This mode is called Cross Polarized ELM and has been extensively studied for the imaging of pigmented lesions for the early detection of melanoma.How does Cross-Polarization work?The LED light is linearly polarized before hitting the skin,The reflected light from the surface is cancelled out by a second filter (which is aligned at 90 degrees to the first),The viewer will have a much clearer,deeper view into the skin.DermLite Features.10xmagnification with 15mm Hastings Triplet Lens,DermLite incorporates cross-polarization to remove surface reflection and allow penetration of light into the skin,8 white LEDs with 100,000 hours life time and resistant to vibration damage,White spectrum light instead of the tungsten or halogen 'yellow' light for better color rendition of skin lesions,Long-life Lithium battery with continuous operation of 8 hours ,This dermatoscope is light weight and extremely compact design for easy portability-slips into any pocket.
