Nevoscope is a hand-held, skin examination microscope that is similar in concept to the Episcope (k920103) and the Dermatoscope devices approved by the FDA. It is a non invasive device that is designed to view skin lesions by either surface illumination or transillumination. Light is directed onto the skin by a special light ring that is coupled to an AC powered halogen lamp by an optical fiber bundle. Built-in mirrors permit viewing a skin lesion from different elevations and angles simultaneously. A variable focus zoom lens controls the magnification of the lesion and a CCD TV camera is attached for image viewing and digitization. Skin lesion images can be stored in the computer for analysis and archiving.
