ILLUCO IDS-9100 Dermatoscope - 12x Optical Magnification
The IDS-9100 Dermatoscope is designed to bring more clarity and precision to skin exams. As the first dermatoscope to offer 12x magnification, it reveals skin structures with exceptional sharpness and detail.
It features 12 light settings (3 modes × 4 brightness levels), including cross and parallel polarization, and built-in UV illumination (365 nm wavelength) helps detect pigment changes, infections, and other conditions not visible under standard lighting.
Engineered for true-to-life imaging, the IDS-9100 offers natural skin tone accuracy with a high color rendering index, ensuring what you see is what’s really there. Compared to the top competitor, it delivers 40% less distortion, giving you greater diagnostic confidence.
Hygiene is prioritized with an infection control film, and durability is ensured with a full metal body. The high-capacity rechargeable battery supports long sessions without interruptions.

Technical Specifications
The IDS-9100 features both parallel and non-polarized lighting modes, allowing you to clearly visualize skin surface and subsurface structures. This reduces reflection and glare, helping you detect pigmentation, vascular patterns, and lesions with enhanced clarity.
Equipped with 20mm field of view, the IDS-9100 captures wide, detailed images, reducing the need for repositioning during examinations of larger lesions or skin areas.
Easily connect the IDS-9100 to your smartphone or camera system for high-resolution image capture and seamless documentation, making patient recordkeeping efficient and organized.
Advanced 12x optical magnification with 0.006mm resolution allows for precise visualization of skin abnormalities, supporting accurate diagnosis of subtle dermatological features.
The built-in UV mode (365nm, 18mW) enables fluorescent imaging for better identification of pigmentation changes, infections, and other subsurface skin conditions, enhancing diagnostic confidence.
Powered by a 3.7V 3500 mAh lithium-ion battery, the IDS-9100 offers up to 300 minutes of continuous use and up to 14 days standby time, with convenient and fast USB-C charging.
The diopter adjustment range of -6 to +6 ensures sharp focus for all users, whether or not they wear corrective lenses, providing flexibility and precision during every exam.
Parallel-Polarized
Ideal for viewing surface textures such as dryness, scaling, or superficial lesions. With 12x magnification, and ultra-sharp 0.006 mm resolution, it delivers clear detail at the skin’s outermost layer. The 6500K LED light and 4-step brightness control ensure uniform, natural illumination, perfect for quick and precise surface evaluation.
Cross-Polarized
Best for reducing surface glare and revealing subsurface features such as pigment patterns and vascular structures. Delivers the same 12x optical zoom, and 80 line pairs resolution, with a 6500K color temperature for accurate skin tone rendering. Adjustable through a 4-step brightness system, it’s perfect for clear, detailed lesion analysis.
UV
Uses 365 nm UV light to highlight fluorescence, pigmentation changes, or infections. Maintains high clarity with 0.006mm resolution and 12x magnification. Backed by an infection control film, snap-on lens ring, and powered by a 3500 mAh battery.
