What Level of Magnification Does the Mini 3000 Dermatoscope Offer?
The Dermatoscope offers 10x magnification, meaning that you can see the most detailed and smallest structures with clarity. This level of clarity is ideal for reaching the correct diagnosis fast, especially as focusing optics ensures focus will happen in a few short seconds. The level of sharpness is perfect for the examination of difficult-to-access lesions, particularly those between fingers and toes.
How Are the Images Produced by the LED Dermatoscope so Sharp?
The images produced by the dermatoscope are so sharp because of the high-quality, colour-neutral achromatic optical system and the consistent LED illumination. The illumination helps to provide a brilliant image and accurate colour rendering, reducing the chances of the misdiagnosis of a patient. The colour-neutral optic system and achromatic lenses help to provide distortion free imaging, perfect for producing the super sharp imaging needed during examination.
How Does the LED HQ Illumination Last so Long?
The LED light promises to last for up to 50,000 hours or 20,000 ON/OFF cycles, meaning that it should last for a significant amount of time before the device will require replacing. LED lights last for a significant amount of time, while also burning twice as bright as a normal halogen bulb. As LED lights do burn for such a long time, you can be confident that you won't ever need to replace the bulb.

When the light starts to fade out, it corresponds with your battery level meaning that you know exactly when the device is running low on power.
