The DermLite carbon pocket dermatoscope is designed
for skin lesions examination with magnication and
cross-polarized or linearly polarized light.
Hold the DermLite so that the LEDs are aimed in the
direction of the lesion to be examined. Place the Der-
mLite approximately 12 mm (1/2”) from the skin (Fig.
1). If necessary, use your ngers to maintain optimum
spacing or attach the included spacer. Press the dome-
shaped button (Fig. 2) at the side of the unit to activate
the cross-polarized LEDs and hold it down as long
as you need light. To see skin surface structures with
linearly polarized light, use the second button. Look
through the lens and move the device closer or further
away from the lesion to obtain the desired image focus.
Replacing the Battery (Fig. 3)
To change the battery, squeeze the sides of the battery
cap and remove it and the battery. Insert a new battery
of the same type with the contacts facing forward, then
reattach the battery cap.
The DermLite uses a 2CR5 lithium battery, which may
be purchased from DermLite, your DermLite dealer or
an electronic retailer.
