Nevoscope
TransLite Nevoscope is a
patented* skin examination microscope with a special transillumination and
surface lighting device, and optical lens for visual examination of skin
lesions. The light source is a bright halogen lamp with variable
intensity control and light is channeled through a flexible optical guide to
the light ring in the front of the Nevoscope where it is directed onto the
skin.
Nevoscope has three modes
of illumination for total illumination of the skin and subsurface structures:
transillumination, surface illumination and epiluminescence.
The combination of
simultaneous transillumination and surface illumination produces ‘No
Oil’ epiluminescence imaging of lesions. The
amount of surface light can be controlled so as to produce unique enhancement
of subsurface pigmentation.
Conventional surface
imaging of the skin is achieved by the use of a special spacer in front of the
Nevoscope that lifts the ring light a few millimeters above the skin. The area
of interest is uniformly illuminated by the fiber optic ring light.

The Nevoscope is designed to fit comfortably in the hand.
Focus, and surface light controls are easily accessed.

The optical lenses are interchangeable for different
magnification.
Nevoscope can be configured
with several different options. The basic unit is the optical imaging device
with interchangeable magnification lenses. Nevoscope can be attached to film
cameras, digital cameras or 8 mm video camcorders to capture images for patient
records and archiving.
