Cross-polarization cancels out the light that is being reflected by the skin surface, thus allowing a deep, glare-free view into the skin–without immersion fluids. Non-polarized light requires a glass contact plate & immersion fluids to see lesion structures.

Leading dermatologists increasingly recommend devices that allow for both cross-polarized and non-polarized dermoscopy, and studies are showing diagnostic advantages from having both modalities available. In practice however, you’ll most often stick to polarized light.

Lumio: The Future of Skin Examination with Glare-Free light that enables you to see into the skin as opposed to merely looking at the skin.

DL100: The original choice for oil-free pocket sized epiluminescence. Offers rapid detection of skin cancer with enhanced visualization of pigmented skin lesions using bright-white LED’s for, natural illumination and advanced cross-polarization technology.

DermLite Carbon: Visualise both deep-pigmented structures & superficial structures of the skin surface using both cross-polarized and surface-polarized modes. The first group of eight LED’s produces cross-polarized light, ideal for visualizing deep structures, whereas the second set of eight LED’s is linearly polarized, giving you a clear rendition of the skin surface.

DermLite II HR: Produces the most light of any pocket sized dermatoscope with the largest lens in its class, button-activated light intensity adjustment, rechargeable battery, and camera-ready. Plus extend the faceplate and view lesions using oil immersion epiluminescence.

DermLite DL3: The first handheld DermLite to integrate a 25mm four-element lens, which offers greatly reduced optical distortion and a sharper image across the field of view, cross-polarized & non-polarized lighting. Fully enclosed faceplate spacer to capture more light & camera ready.

DermLite II Hybrid M: DermLite II hybrid m is the first dermatoscope that combines non-polarized illumination for immersion fluid dermoscopy with dry, cross-polarized dermoscopy, with or without skin contact. Palm-sized, this versatile device offers high light output, a large 25 mm lens, camera adaptability*, as well as an integrated, rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Having the ability to take a photo of a special case (prior to excision), with a camera, smartphone or iPad®, is powerful. While DL100 & Carbon cannot be attached to those devices, any DL1, DL2 or DL3 are compatible with some digital cameras and camera-equipped devices. Simple adapters or so-called stepping rings are required to attach a DermLite to a point-and-shoot camera, adapter cases for iPhone, Galaxy and iPad are available in Accessories.

The DermLite II Fluid’s non-polarized light (and absence of a polarized mode) means pure dedication to traditional immersion fluid dermoscopy. With a maximum brightness of over 2000 fc, it’s the brightest non-polarized dermatoscope.
