| Description |
In this chapter we describe dermoscopyThe examination of [skin lesions] with a 'dermatoscope'. This traditionally consists of a magnifier (typically x10), 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. attachments for handheld scopesThis glossary term has not yet been described. that attach to smartphonesThis glossary term has not yet been described. and tabletsThis glossary term has not yet been described.
