More than a device.

Your daily companion that sees deeper.

DermLite is the world’s most popular dermatoscope for a reason. It's because we create our products because we’re curious, we listen, we think differently, and we want to inspire the world of dermoscopy. And to help make skin a little healthier, more beautiful. If you're on board, DL5 is your reliable companion. Your personal superpower.

DL5 is the result of 25 years of asking questions, thinking differently, and caring about the tiniest detail. It reflects global collaboration with visionaries in skin diagnostics and all those who love dermoscopy — or those who want to learn to love it.
DL5 is your magic eye that shows you what others miss — crystal clear. One twist, and DL5 takes you deep into the skin. Across nine levels of polarization, brightness, and color. Into the fascinating world of UV dermoscopy.
Get inspired — by true 10x magnification, a finely tuned 32 mm optical system, and a design so well thought out you’ll forget it’s even there. Let’s go.

    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.

    What leading dermatologists say

    • 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.

      Dr. Ashfaq Marghoob, New York
    • 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 Woods 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.

      Dr. Raimonds Karls, Riga
    • 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.
