DermLite DL5 Plus vs DL5
Same foundation. A meaningful step forward.
If you’re using DL5 today, you already have one of the most refined dermatoscopes we've ever made. DL5 Plus builds on that foundation—quietly, but decisively. Brighter. Smarter. Connected.
What changes
Brighter, everywhere
DL5 Plus delivers substantially increased illumination across all modes. UV fluorescence at 365 nm is now more than twice as bright.
You’ll notice it immediately in vascular structures, pigmentation contrasts, porphyrins, vitiligo, fungal infections, subtle pre-cancerous changes, and other findings that were easy to miss.
Now connected
For the first time, your dermatoscope can speak directly to your phone. While you're leveraging the excellent camera of your own smartphone, DL5 Plus connects wirelessly to the DermLite app and allows:
- Direct control of lighting modes from the app
- Simpler image capture
- A more fluid, integrated workflow
Your iPhone becomes part of the instrument.
MultiShot. One tap, multiple views.
Capture more with a single tap. MultiShot lets you capture polarized, non-polarized, and UV images all at once, enabling fast, consistent, and more comprehensive lesion documentation.
It's the blink sign, now on your smartphone.
Smarter energy
DL5 Plus introduces improved energy management, including Vacation Mode, extending battery life without changing how you work.
What stays the same
- True 10x magnification
- Premium 32 mm optics
- Variable polarization (cross / non-polarized / parallel)
- PigmentBoost
- Smartphone compatibility
DL5 Plus is not a reinvention. It is a refinement.
