Why UV Illumination (365 nm) Matters in a Dermatoscope and What It Can Reveal Beneath the Skin
Today’s dermatoscopes are equipped with advanced optical and lighting systems designed to uncover what the naked eye can’t see, and one of the most useful of these is UV illumination, particularly at the 365 nm wavelength. So, what makes UV light so special in dermatology, and why are clinicians turning to it for more precise skin analysis? The Science Behind UV Illumination At 365 nanometers, ultraviolet (UV-A) light interacts with the skin in a way...
Breaking Boundaries: How ILLUCO’s 12x Dermatoscope Enhances Clinical Precision
For decades, 10x magnification has been the standard in dermatoscopy. It’s what clinicians have relied on for identifying skin lesions, evaluating pigmentation, and detecting signs of early melanoma. But at ILLUCO, we saw room for improvement. That’s why we developed the IDS-9100 Dermatoscope, the first and only dermatoscope on the market to offer 12x optical magnification, setting a new benchmark for diagnostic clarity. Why Magnification Matters in Dermatoscopy In dermoscopy, every detail counts. Subtle variations...
Magnification in Dental Mirrors: Choosing the Right View for Precision Dentistry
In dentistry, every detail matters. The ability to see clearly and accurately within the oral cavity is essential for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and optimal patient outcomes. Dental mirrors are more than just reflective tools; they are precision instruments that enhance visibility, minimize distortion, and help clinicians work with confidence. At ILLUCO, our dental mirrors are engineered with advanced dielectric front surface coatings, delivering 99% reflectance and eliminating ghost images or secondary reflections. This ensures...
