DermLite dermatoscopes are made in the USA and are the world leaders in dermatoscope design. DermLite invented polarised dermoscopy back in 2000 creating the iconic DermLite DL100 design, the world's first polarised handheld dermatoscope. This unassuming, palm-sized tool broke all conventions. No need for skin contact. No immersion fluid. No spare bulbs. Not even a recharge. On the back of that success, DermLite has continued to pioneer dermoscopy design ever since. When smartphones infiltrated the world, DermLite responded. They became the first to harness magnetic attachments, enabling anyone with a smartphone to take high-resolution dermoscopic images with nothing more than a DermLite dermatoscope and an affordable MagnetiConnect adapter. Fast forward to 2022 and the DL5 is the first full-featured pocket dermatoscope with variable polarisation that allows for pioneering discoveries through ultraviolet reflectance dermoscopy. DermLite continues to manufacture a wide range of dermatoscope and screening devices for a wide range of applications and user needs with an excellent reputation for quality and reliability. Based in Orange County, California, DermLite technicians hand craft DermLite dermatoscopes for Dermatologists, GPs and Skin Cancer Specialists across all around the world.
