Product Detail Dermatoscopes Dermatoscopy (also known as dermoscopy or epiluminescence microscopy) is the examination of skin lesions with a dermatoscope.
This traditionally consists of a magnifier (typically x10), a
non-polarised light source, a transparent plate and a liquid medium
between the instrument and the skin,
and allows inspection of skin lesions unobstructed by skin surface
reflections. Modern dermatoscopes dispense with the use of liquid medium
and instead use polarised light to cancel out skin surface reflections.
When the images or video clips are digitally captured or processed, the
instrument can be referred to as a digital epiluminescence
dermatoscope
