DermLite DL5 Hand Held Dermatoscope

DermLite DL5 supports your clinical workflow unlike any other dermatoscope. It’s the world’s first hybrid dermatoscope with 365nm UV, allowing you to highlight fluorescent structures — at full 10x magnification.

And, when screening your patients at a distance, DL5’s high-powered torch LED provides phenominal illumination to larger areas or hard-to-reach spots.

Need to measure a lesion? DL5 comes with an on-board, magnetically attached 100 mm ruler. Simply slide it off and its circular markings make it easier than ever to assess a lesion or choose the proper biopsy punch.

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.

All inclusive DermLite DL5 includes: DermLite DL5 dermatoscope (16 white LEDs, 4 UV LEDs, 4 PigmentBoost LEDs, 1 white Torch LED, 32 mm lens system with 10x magnification, variable polarisation system, retractable spacer, removable faceplate with 10 mm reticle, steel ruler), leather belt case, 2m USB charging cable, charging base, magnetic eyepiece, MCC mobile device adapter, plastic belt holster, 5 IceCaps, microfiber cloth.

Warranty: 5 years

What sets the DL5 apart is its versatility and advanced features tailored for both novices and experts. For beginners, it offers a dermatoscope with both polarized and non-polarized light, high-quality optics, an ergonomic design, seamless smartphone integration, and long battery life. These features ensure an intuitive and user-friendly experience.

For more experienced users, the DL5 provides sophisticated capabilities to refine and enhance diagnostic skills. Its variable polarization, including parallel polarization, helps accentuate skin markings, while UV fluorescence highlights features such as MAY-globules, biopsy scars, and scabies, among others. This dermatoscope is designed to be accessible for beginners yet flexible enough for experts to deepen their expertise. It’s built to be durable and to accommodate growth at every level of proficiency.

Having used many generations of DermLite dermatoscopes since 2004, I can confidently say that the DL5 is the undisputed champion—it’s simply impossible to beat. Integrating DermLite’s industry-leading polarization technology, the DL5’s optics improve diagnostic accuracy, and the larger field of view makes examinations easier and more comfortable. The much longer battery life keeps up with my busy practice, and the refined ergonomics, combined with the beautiful design, make it a joy to use. The power of having a 10x Wood’s lamp in your pocket with DL5’s UV mode is invaluable. Plus, the inclusion of all necessary accessories, especially the universal smartphone adapter, makes the DL5 an essential tool in my practice.

The DermLite DL5 has revolutionized my dermatoscopic practice. Beyond conventional hybrid dermatoscopy, the DL5 offers critical insights into a wide range of skin conditions with its UV-induced Fluorescence Dermatoscopy (UVFD) mode. This device excels at highlighting features that are either otherwise invisible or extremely subtle. It enhances the visibility of multiple aggregated yellow/white clods in BCCs that sometimes extend beyond the suspected tumor border, and reveals erosions – valuable clues in distinguishing flat melanoma from other flat pigmented skin neoplasms. UVFD’s power in defining tumor margins is crucial for thorough evaluations in melanoma and BCCs, and can support a more comprehensive delineation of surgical procedures. By showing distinct fluorescence patterns, it facilitates differential diagnosis across a broad spectrum of inflammatory, infectious, and parasitic diseases commonly encountered in everyday practice. Combined with its good optics, ergonomic design, and and out-of-the-box compatibility with smartphones, the DL5 enables me to make more confident, precise examinations and surgical procedures. Since discovering the value of UVFD, I can’t imagine working without it.

The DermLite DL5 is a substantial upgrade in many ways from the DL4, offering advanced features that have significantly enhanced my practice. The UV mode is incredibly powerful, providing valuable insights for various skin conditions. The variable polarization and brightness adjustment allow for tailored examinations, ensuring I see exactly what I need to. The magnetically attached ruler is practical and convenient for precise measurements. Overall, the beautifully designed DL5 integrates these innovations seamlessly, making it an indispensable tool in my daily work.
