A new dimension in dermoscopy.
DL5 delivers UV fluorescence where it matters most – in your daily diagnostics. At the push of a button, 365 nm UV light and true 10× magnification reveal details others might miss. Subtle fluorescence. Porphyrins. Early changes. And suddenly, you know more.
Highlights at a glance
Visually a few levels ahead.
A 32 mm lens system with true 10x magnification reveals even the finest structures – razor-sharp, whether viewed with the eye or on a smartphone. Thanks to variable polarization, you move seamlessly through the layers of the skin. DL5 is optimized for what matters: confidence in what you see. Why not play a few levels above everyone else?
Simply more hygienic. Because it’s the right thing to do.
Switch instantly between contact and non-contact examination – with or without the autoclavable contact plate. Our unique IceCap® system, with disposable contact caps, protects your patients, your team, and you – fast, hygienic, and safe.
Because doing the right thing is sometimes simple.
Light that thinks like you.
Nine brightness levels. Nine color temperatures. Polarized. Non-polarized. Parallel polarization when you only need the surface. UV fluorescence when you want to go deeper.
DL5 adapts to your view – and your way of thinking. From first glance to final decision.
Your Superpower – for Everyday
DL5 sits naturally in your hand. No edges, no crevices – just clarity. It feels right, looks great, and makes your daily work easier.
Whether you examine with the eye or document with your smartphone – everything is exactly where it should be.
The elegant charging station keeps it powered and organized – complete with built-in IceCap storage. And if something ever comes up: 5-year warranty and personal service from Bavaria included.
