Abstract
The DermLite II is an improvement on a previous instrument allowing for dermoscopy to be carried out without the need of immersion oil. It consists of a magnifying lens encircled by light-emitting diodes that can be adjusted for polarization or can be customized by the manufacturer to produce colors of specific wavelengths for visualizing pigmentation and structures of various dermal depths. This new version of the DermLite makes it very convenient for the evaluation of not just pigmented lesions, but nonpigmented skin cancers, scalp disease, and vascular patterns. It can be attached to a camera to record images and has a retractable faceplate for use with immersion oil.Keywords
