DermLite DL5
SUPER POLARISED.
Not only can you toggle between polarised and non-polarised modes, now you're able to visualise extremely superficial structures under parallel polarisation and, as you turn DL5's dial, scroll through the entire polarisation range in order to optically explore a lesion’s visual depths. With available PigmentBoost®, you'll be able to visualise pigmented lesions just as well as you'll see vascular lesions under DermLite's cool colour spectrum. All the while, you’ll love DL5’s optics, which are stunning up-close and outstanding at a distance: Its 32mm lens system with true 10x magnification reveals the super-tiniest of details — better than ever before.
SUPER CLINICAL.
The DermLite DL5 is the world’s first hybrid dermatoscope with 365nm UV, allowing you to spot a host of fluorescing structures — at full 10x magnification. And, when you're quickly screening your patients' skin, DL5’s high-powered torch LED provides phenomenal illumination to larger areas or hard-to-reach spots. Need to measure a lesion? DL5 comes with an on-board, magnetically attached 100mm ruler. Simply slide it off and its semi-circular markings make it easier than ever to assess a lesion or choose the proper biopsy punch.
SUPER CHARGED.
DL5 lets you work substantially longer on a single charge, thanks to a battery that’s more than twice the capacity of DL4. Between uses, keep it charged up on the included desktop charging base — which doubles as home base for your IceCap® supply. You’ll even be able to charge a second DermLite or your phone using its front-facing 5V USB port or use the supplied USB-C cable while on the go; regardless, DL5’s 4-level charge indicator keeps you up to date.
SUPER VIOLET.
With 365nm UV in your pocket at 10x, DL5 brings you Wood-mode superpowers of a new dimension. See fluorescing features like never before — assess the efficacy of acne treatment, discover exciting presentations of pigmented, vascular or inflammatory lesions, or visualise bacterial and fungal infections on skin, nail, or mucosa.
