Description

The IDS-3100 is designed for clinicians who require diagnostic visualization beyond visible light. Powered by a high-density 70-LED illumination array (64 white LEDs and 6 UV LEDs), the device features an engineered aspherical lens system that minimizes peripheral optical distortion, delivering a clean 10x magnification across an 18mm field of view.

The Woods Lamp allows practitioners to toggle between Cross-Polarization, Parallel-Polarization, and targeted UV illumination modes (365 nm, 405 nm, and combined 395+405 nm). This multi-spectral versatility enables precise detection of superficial skin conditions, subsurface dyschromia, and bacterial or fungal fluorescence without requiring darkroom conditions.
Key Benefits

Multi-Spectral Diagnostic Capability: Combines dual-mode polarization (Cross & Parallel) with three targeted UV wavelength modes (365 nm, 405 nm, 395+405 nm) for comprehensive dermatological and fluorescing evaluations.

Enhanced Subsurface & Infectious Visualization: Ideal for evaluating bacterial infections (P. acnes), fungal dermatoses (Tinea, Malassezia), pigmentary disorders (melasma, vitiligo), and superficial vascular structures.

Aspherical Optical Precision: Features precision-ground aspherical optics to eliminate edge distortion, ensuring uniform edge-to-edge clarity and true-to-life tissue presentation.

Seamless Clinical Workflow: Equipped with a desktop charging cradle for instant dock-and-go accessibility and high-capacity 3,400 mAh battery performance for uninterrupted daily patient exams.

Teledermatology Ready: Smartphone compatible for quick, high-resolution photo documentation and digital patient record integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the IDS-3100 different from a white-light dermatoscope?

The IDS-3100 combines cross- and parallel-polarized white light with UV illumination. This gives you additional viewing options for fluorescence observation alongside conventional examination.

What magnification does it offer?

The IDS-3100 provides 10x magnification with an 18 mm field of view for examining skin detail.

Can I switch between polarized lighting and UV illumination?

Yes. You can select cross-polarized, parallel-polarized, or UV illumination to compare the appearance of the same area under different lighting conditions.

What is the benefit of its aspherical lens system?

The aspherical optics are designed to reduce peripheral distortion, helping maintain a clear view toward the edges of the image.

Does the IDS-3100 have an adjustable focusing dial?

No. The IDS-3100 does not include a focusing dial. If adjustable focus is a priority, consider a model with that feature, such as the IDS-9100, IDS-1100, or IDS-1100C.

Is the IDS-3100 rechargeable?

Yes. It uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and includes a desktop charging cradle for convenient charging between examinations.

Can I capture images with my smartphone?

Yes. Smartphone imaging is supported with a compatible phone attachment, sold separately. Contact us for help selecting the correct adapter for your device and phone.

What is the difference between cross- and parallel-polarized lighting?

Cross-polarized lighting reduces surface reflections to help reveal detail beneath the skin’s surface. Parallel-polarized lighting provides a complementary view of surface features. Switching between them lets you examine the same area from different perspectives.
