Abstract
EPILUMINESCENCE microscopy (ELM; in vivo cutaneous surface microscopy, dermoscopy, dermatoscopy, and magnified oil immersion diascopy) is an in vivo, noninvasive technique that has disclosed a new dimension of the clinical morphologic features of pigmented skin lesions using different incident light magnification systems with an oil immersion technique.1Keywords
