Dermatology

Dermatology is a specialist medical field. It encompasses all conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. The dermatoscope, also known as the 'reflected-light microscope', is the most important diagnostic tool in dermatology. Early detection of skin cancer is particularly important as it can significantly improve patient outcomes. Optimum illumination and magnification, together with precise, sharp imaging, provide the best conditions for a dermatologist or general practitioner to perform a dermatoscopic examination of the skin.
