Don't get me wrong, you still don't want to just “throw around” the DL4. But at least for me, it just “feels” a little bit more solid and a little bit more rugged, at least so far as carrying it around with you all day long. And part of the reason, I believe, is because overall it just feels better in the hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInterestingly, it's actually \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ejust slightly heavier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e than the DL3.

And again, if you're like me, you've come to depend on your dermatoscope for doing exams \u003cstrong\u003eall throughout the day\u003c\/strong\u003e, and not having one can really put you in a bind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo even if the DL100 doesn’t represent your “ideal” dermatoscope, you may want to consider buying one to simply keep in the clinic to use as a backup when needed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\ndiv#tab-description :is(img, iframe) {\n                border-radius: 10px;\n            }\n            div#youtube-container \u003e div {\n                border-radius: 10px;\n            }\n            \n            div#tab-description b {\n                font-weight: 800;\n            }\n            \n            div#youtube-container {\n                width: 100%;\n                max-width: 730px;\n                display: block;\n                margin: 0 auto 50px;\n                padding: 0 10px;\n            }\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DermLite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18666476175411,"sku":"DL100","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6862\/2387\/products\/DSC_0062_Edited.jpg?v=1643796637"},{"product_id":"dermlite-dl1","title":"DermLite DL1","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"one\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube-player\" data-id=\"3ynIE4kStSA\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n.one {\n     margin: 0 auto;\n     width: 100%;\n   }\n   .youtube-container { display: block; margin: 20px auto; width: 100%; max-width: 600px; }\n   .youtube-player { display: block; width: 100%; \/* assuming that the video has a 16:9 ratio *\/ padding-bottom: 56.25%; overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 100%; height: 100%; cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; }\n   img.youtube-thumb { bottom: 0; display: block; left: 0; margin: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; height: auto }\n   div.play-button { height: 72px; width: 72px; left: 50%; top: 50%; margin-left: -36px; margin-top: -36px; position: absolute; background: url(\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6862\/2387\/files\/yt-red.png?v=1681273975\") no-repeat; }\n   #youtube-iframe { width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; }\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmartphone Dermoscopy and much more\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAmong the many reasons why the first DermLite was such a remarkable solution is its portability and versatility.

The option that most gravitate towards is the use of using the polarized filter, which slips over. It’s very compact. It's flat, it does not stick out, it just minimally adds to the size of the DL1, and that allows you to perform non-contact polarized dermoscopy, which is what most people are doing 95% of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTwo other options (included with the standard DL1) are these “slip-on” faceplates - one which is polarized and one which is non-polarized. The length at which these faceplates extend from the body of the DL1 is right around the focal point of the lens in the DL1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI point that out because the faceplates make contact dermoscopy easy. For example, if you want a staff member who perhaps doesn't him or herself perform dermoscopy regularly, but you need them to take a dermoscopy image for the patient’s chart, when they slip either of these on to the body of the DL1 and then connect that to their camera smartphone, they know that they simply have to “press the DL1 with its faceplate up against the lesion” and right about there it’s going to be in focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs mentioned, there are\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etwo\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eof these faceplates - one polarized and one non-polarized. So that's great, makes it easy, especially for staff to be using it, but it also means that when you're using the faceplates, in order to really work and for the lesion to be in focus, they need to be in contact with the patient and the lesion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOne of the advantages to non-contact dermoscopy is that you don't have that need to worry about contamination and disinfecting your device with every single patient that you see. But when you use these faceplates on the DL1, contact will be involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSo yes, they make it easy. They kind of “dummy proof” the system in which staff could slip it over the DL1 and they know it's right around that point to press it onto the lesion, and they're going to be in focus if they need to take some pictures. But the downside is that you're in contact. Not a big deal, but they will have to wipe it down with alcohol or disinfect afterwards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs mentioned, though, most who are using the DL1 for dermoscopy, most of the time, no contact will be involved and you'll instead be using the simple “slip over” polarized filter that does not extend out and does not require contact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo then what is the DL1 “basic”?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe DL1 basic is the DL1 device itself (with the battery, LEDs, and lens). It includes one polarized faceplate. So it's less expensive because it only includes the one faceplate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut by its very nature, if you buy the DL1 “basic,” you are buying what is essentially a contact dermatoscope. Generally speaking, most people nowadays are looking for non-contact dermoscopy for most situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSo again, “regular” DL1 is where you've got the DL1 device, slip-on polarized filter which does not extend out (and allows you to perform non-contact dermoscopy), and then you have the two faceplate attachments for contact dermoscopy - one of which is polarized, and the other which is not polarized.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith the DL1 “basic,” you get the DL1 device, plus the one slip-on faceplate with the polarized filter built into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript\u003e\n  (function() {\n   var v = document.getElementsByClassName(\"youtube-player\");\n   for (var n = 0; n \u003c v.length; n++) {\n       var p = document.createElement(\"div\");\n       p.innerHTML = labnolThumb(v[n].dataset.id);\n       p.onclick = labnolIframe;\n       v[n].appendChild(p);\n   }\n})();\n\nfunction labnolThumb(id) {\n   return '\u003cimg class=\"youtube-thumb\" src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/' + id + '\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"play-button\"\u003e-\u003c\/div\u003e';\n}\n\nfunction labnolIframe() {\n   var iframe = document.createElement(\"iframe\");\n   iframe.setAttribute(\"src\", \"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/\" + this.parentNode.dataset.id + \"?autoplay=1\u0026autohide=2\u0026border=0\u0026wmode=opaque\u0026enablejsapi=1\u0026controls=0\u0026showinfo=0\");\n   iframe.setAttribute(\"frameborder\", \"0\");\n   iframe.setAttribute(\"id\", \"youtube-iframe\");\n   this.parentNode.replaceChild(iframe, this);\n}\n\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"DermLite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39589686935603,"sku":"DL1","price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6862\/2387\/products\/DL1_iPhone6_3_Edited_4c7fb91b-5804-4a7d-88f0-3edfad2b73c8.jpg?v=1643913472"},{"product_id":"dermlite-dl5","title":"Dermlite DL5","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FvvwbAnAB6g\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the world’s first variable polarization system in a hybrid dermatoscope, DermLite® DL5 lets you uncover a whole new layer in handheld dermoscopy.
