Why the DermLite DL5 is Different?
What sets the DL5 apart is its ability to move seamlessly between viewing modes. With a simple dial, you can switch from non-polarised light to cross-polarised illumination, then fine-tune through the full polarisation range, including parallel polarisation to reveal extremely superficial structures that are often difficult to visualise.
This level of control allows you to explore a lesion’s visual depth in real time, helping you better understand surface markings, pigment distribution and vascular features without interrupting your workflow.
Designed for Clinical Use
In daily practice, flexibility matters. The DL5 supports fast screening as well as detailed assessment:
- The high-powered torch LED provides bright, even illumination for scanning larger areas or hard-to-reach locations.
- True 10x magnification with a wide 32 mm field of view delivers sharp, comfortable viewing both up close and at a distance.
- The magnetically attached 100 mm ruler allows quick and accurate lesion measurement and biopsy planning without needing separate tools.
- Everything is built into a single, robust device, reducing clutter while improving efficiency.
UV Dermoscopy When You Need It?
The DermLite DL5 is the world’s first hybrid dermatoscope with 365 nm UV illumination at full 10x magnification. This mode enables UV-induced fluorescence dermoscopy, helping reveal features that may be subtle or invisible under standard lighting.
Clinicians use UV mode to:
- Highlight fluorescence patterns in inflammatory, infectious or parasitic conditions.
- Visualise features such as scabies, fungal or bacterial involvement.
- Assess treatment response in conditions like acne.
- Identify structures that may extend beyond visible lesion borders.
- Access UV mode instantly without add-ons or separate devices.
Built to Grow With You
The DL5 is suitable for clinicians at every stage:
- For those new to dermoscopy: It offers intuitive controls, excellent optics, long battery life and seamless smartphone integration.
- For experienced users: Advanced features such as variable and parallel polarisation, PigmentBoost® and UV fluorescence provide additional diagnostic depth.
It’s a dermatoscope that’s easy to start with, yet powerful enough to support advanced clinical decision-making.
What’s New in the DL5?
Compared to previous generations, the DL5 delivers meaningful improvements:
- Larger 32 mm lens for a wider, more detailed field of view.
- More than twice the battery capacity of earlier models.
- Enhanced brightness control across all illumination modes.
- Improved ergonomics for extended daily use.
- Fully integrated UV dermoscopy and PigmentBoost® illumination.
These updates reflect how clinicians actually use dermatoscopes in busy practice settings.
