Among the many reasons why the first DermLite was such a remarkable solution is its portability and versatility. There was nothing that even came close to its compact, in-the-palm-of-your-hand footprint. Now, more than a decade later, it is time to integrate the innovations that make the top-of-the-line DermLite devices so convenient into a digital dermoscopy solution designed for your smartphone and even iPad. To accomplish this feat, the designers squeezed a superb, full-size 15 mm lens that?s optimized for iPhone and other smartphones and tablets, high-powered LED lighting and a high-performance rechargeable battery into the simply ingenious DL1, an all-aluminum design smaller than your ring finger that lets you capture high-resolution images of excellent clarity and sharpness in both polarized and non-polarized modes, with or without skin contact. Perhaps most importantly, you will be able to use DL1 with your smartphone right out of the box, and using it with a future generation smartphone will merely require the purchase of an inexpensive DermLite smartphone or iPad case (MSRP starting at $39.95).
