DermLite DL5
With the world’s first variable polarization system in a hybrid dermatoscope, DermLite® DL5 lets you uncover a whole new layer in handheld dermoscopy. Not only can you toggle between polarized and non-polarized modes, now you’re able to visualize extremely superficial structures under parallel polarization and, as you scroll through the entire polarization range, optically explore a lesion’s visual depths. And on that note, you’ll love DL5’s optics, which are stunning up-close and outstanding at a distance: Its 32 mm lens system with true 10x magnification reveals the supertiniest of details — better than ever before.
