The Next Level of Discovery
The DL5+ isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a refinement of the world’s most versatile pocket dermatoscope. By doubling the UV energy output, clinicians can now visualize vascular structures, pigmentation contrasts, and fungal infections with unprecedented clarity.
Key Features
- Superior Optics: 32mm premium lens system with true 10x magnification.
- Extreme UV: 365nm UV mode is now 2.5x more powerful than the standard DL5.
- Variable Polarization: Scroll continuously from deep cross-polarization to superficial parallel polarization.
- PigmentBoost: 9 adjustable color temperature levels to highlight specific skin structures.
- Smart Connectivity: Seamlessly pairs with the DermLite App (iOS/Android) for automated MultiShot capture and AI-assisted analysis.
- Unmatched Battery: 3000 mAh Li-ion battery with a four-level charge indicator and USB-C charging.
DermLite DL5 Plus vs DL5
Same foundation. A meaningful step forward.
If you’re using DL5 today, you already have one of the most refined dermatoscopes we’ve ever made. DL5 Plus builds on that foundation—quietly, but decisively. Brighter. Smarter. Connected.
What changes
Brighter, everywhere
DL5 Plus delivers substantially increased illumination across all modes. UV fluorescence at 365 nm is now more than twice as bright.
You’ll notice it immediately in vascular structures, pigmentation contrasts, porphyrins, vitiligo, fungal infections, subtle pre-cancerous changes, and other findings that were easy to miss.
Now connected
For the first time, your dermatoscope can speak directly to your phone. While you’re leveraging the excellent camera of your own smartphone, DL5 Plus connects wirelessly to the DermLite app and allows:
- Direct control of lighting modes from the app
- Simpler image capture
- A more fluid, integrated workflow
Your iPhone becomes part of the instrument.
MultiShot. One tap, multiple views.
Capture more with a single tap. MultiShot lets you capture polarized, non-polarized, and UV images all at once, enabling fast, consistent, and more comprehensive lesion documentation.
It’s the blink sign, now on your smartphone.
Smarter energy
DL5 Plus introduces improved energy management, including Vacation Mode, extending battery life without changing how you work.
What stays the same
- True 10x magnification
- Premium 32 mm optics
- Variable polarization (cross / non-polarized / parallel)
- PigmentBoost
- Smartphone compatibility
DL5 Plus is not a reinvention. It is a refinement.
