ment could result.
The DermLite carbon pocket dermatoscope is designed
for skin lesions examination with magnification and
cross-polarized or linearly polarized light.
Hold the DermLite so that the LEDs are aimed in the
direction of the lesion to be examined. Place the DermLite
approximately 12 mm (1/2") from the skin (Fig. 1). If nec-
essary, use your fingers to maintain optimum spacing or
attach the included spacer. Press the dome-shaped but-
ton (Fig. 2) at the side of the unit to activate the cross-po-
larized LEDs and hold it down as long as you need light.
To see skin surface structures with linearly polarized light,
use the second button. Look through the lens and move
the device closer or further away from the lesion to obtain
the desired image focus.
Replacing the Battery (Fig. 3)
To change the battery, squeeze the sides of the battery
cap and remove it and the battery. Insert a new battery
of the same type with the contacts facing forward, then
reattach the battery cap.
The DermLite uses a 2CR5 lithium battery, which may be
purchased from 3Gen, your 3Gen dealer or an electronic
retailer.
