Dermatoscopy
Dermatoscopy is the examination of skin lesions with a dermatoscope. This traditionally consists of a magnifier, a non-polarised light source, a transparent plate and a liquid medium between the instrument and the skin, and allows inspection of skin lesions unobstructed by skin surface reflections. Modern dermatoscopes dispense with the use of liquid medium and instead use polarised light to cancel out skin surface reflections. When the images or video clips are digitally captured or processed, the instrument can be referred to as a "digital epiluminescence dermatoscope". This instrument is useful to dermatologists in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, especially in the diagnosis of melanoma.
