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.
DermLite Optical Design

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.

Imaging Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
When imaging Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), the compression with a glass faceplate forces the blood out and the large number of blood vessels that characterize a BCC is not seen. Therefore, BCC is not detected very well when using a glass face-plate. BCC detection is clearly visualized with DermLite - without glass compression.
Imaging Telangiectesia
Small varicose blood vessels that are found on the face and the legs can be visualized with the DermLite, using its cross-polarization mode of imaging. This is an excellent tool for examining the small blood vessels before and after laser treatment.

DermLite Features
- 10x magnification 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 (or 1200 skin lesions examined at approximatley 30 seconds per lesion).
- This dermatoscope is light weight (3.5 oz/99g) and extremely compact design for easy portability - slips into any pocket.

The DermLite uses Cross-Polarized ELM, so there is no need for a glass face-plate when examining most of the skin lesions including BCC. Over 90% of the skin lesions of interest can be examined without the need for oil and a glass face-plate. This mode of imaging is extremely fast and can be accomplished in a matter of seconds rather than several minutes when using the conventional and inconvenient oil-based imaging.

Testimonials
"The Dermlite provides outstanding images of pigmented lesions without the usual complications associated with traditional dermascopy. There is no mess as there is no oil required. The images are comparable to traditional dermascopy images and the convenience is unparalleled. I carry the unit in my pocket and use it a minimum of 50 times each day."

"I'm enjoying my DermLite. I compare the image to my Mole Max video camera and find it brighter and just as revealing - even better when viewed thru an Optivisor, a magnifying loupe commonly used by derms.
Two things I would like to see - a rechargeable battery and an attachment for my Sony Mavica digital camera for documentation purposes. I also appreciate the portability of the device compared to the Welch-Allyn dermatoscope."
