HEINE Dermatoscopes

Professional dermoscopy with the HEINE DELTA range

HEINE Dermatoscopes combine high-quality optical performance with modern illumination technology for professional dermatological examinations. The DELTA range offers different instrument concepts for examining pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions – from a highly compact dermatoscope for mobile use to a premium full-size instrument for demanding everyday dermatology.

A particular strength of the HEINE system is the combination of high-quality optics, LEDHQ illumination, polarised and non-polarised examination, and digital imaging. Compatible DELTA dermatoscopes can be connected to smartphones using suitable adapters and integrated into HEINE solutions for image documentation and follow-up.

HEINE DELTA Dermatoscopes at a glance

The DELTA range includes different models for different clinical requirements:

• HEINE DELTA 30 PRO – premium dermatoscope for demanding professional dermoscopy;
• HEINE DELTA 30 – professional dermatoscope with a large field of view and comfortable viewing;
• HEINE DELTAone – particularly compact dermatoscope for flexible and mobile use.

This allows users to select a dermatoscope according to their working style, frequency of examinations, mobility requirements and plans for digital documentation.

HEINE DELTA 30 PRO

Premium dermatoscope for professional dermatology

The HEINE DELTA 30 PRO represents the premium end of HEINE's hand-held dermatoscope range.

It is designed for medical professionals with particularly high requirements for image quality, differentiated visualisation of skin structures and examination comfort in everyday dermoscopy.

Its large optical system provides comfortable viewing of the examined lesion. This makes the DELTA 30 PRO particularly attractive for dermatologists who examine numerous lesions every day and require a high-performance instrument for professional routine diagnostics.

HEINE DELTA 30

Large field of view and comfortable examination

The HEINE DELTA 30 combines a generously dimensioned optical system with the high-quality illumination and imaging performance associated with HEINE diagnostic instruments.

It is particularly suitable for professionals who value a large field of view and comfortable viewing during regular dermatological examinations.

Its hand-held design provides flexibility in everyday practice, while compatible accessories allow the DELTA 30 to be incorporated into digital image documentation workflows.

HEINE DELTAone

Compact dermatoscope for maximum mobility

The HEINE DELTAone follows a deliberately compact concept.

It combines professional dermoscopy with a particularly small and portable format, making it ideal for physicians who regularly move between examination rooms or need a dermatoscope for mobile clinical use.

Its compact dimensions make the DELTAone an attractive choice for professionals who want high-quality dermoscopic performance without carrying a larger hand-held instrument.

HEINE LEDHQ – illumination quality for dermoscopy

Magnification alone does not determine the quality of a dermoscopic examination. Homogeneous illumination and differentiated reproduction of colours and structures are equally important.

HEINE uses its LEDHQ technology in its modern diagnostic instruments.

The objective is to provide a bright, homogeneous examination image with natural colour rendering. This is particularly relevant in dermatology, where subtle differences in pigmentation, vascular patterns and morphology can contribute to the visual assessment of a lesion.

Polarised and non-polarised examination

Depending on the model, HEINE DELTA dermatoscopes provide polarised and non-polarised illumination for different examination techniques.

Polarised light reduces reflections from the skin surface and facilitates visualisation of certain structures beneath it.

Depending on the examination technique, polarised dermoscopy may also allow examination without conventional immersion fluid.

Different illumination and examination modes provide greater flexibility when assessing different types of skin lesions.

Contact and non-contact dermoscopy

Depending on the model, contact plate and examination technique, HEINE dermatoscopes can be used in different clinical situations.

During contact dermoscopy, the contact plate is placed directly against the skin. This provides stable positioning of the instrument and controlled viewing of the lesion.

Suitable examination techniques can also allow non-contact viewing, which may be useful for sensitive, painful or difficult-to-access areas.

Model-specific contact plates and additional accessories are available for different examination requirements.

Digital dermoscopy with HEINE

From a conventional dermatoscope to digital image documentation

One of the major strengths of the current HEINE dermoscopy concept is the ability to combine conventional optical examination with digital imaging.

Compatible HEINE DELTA dermatoscopes can be connected to a smartphone using an appropriate smartphone adapter.

The principle is straightforward:

HEINE Dermatoscope → Smartphone Adapter → Smartphone → Dermoscopic Image → Digital Documentation

The dermatoscope therefore remains a fully functional optical hand-held instrument while digital documentation can be added whenever required.

HEINE Smartphone Adapter

Capture dermoscopic images directly with a smartphone

A compatible HEINE smartphone adapter connects the smartphone camera with the optical system of the dermatoscope.

Dermoscopic images can then be captured directly during the examination.

This provides useful options for:

• digital imaging of skin lesions;
• photographic clinical documentation;
• follow-up examinations;
• comparison of previous and current images;
• medical documentation;
• patient communication and demonstration;
• teaching and professional exchange.

This modular approach is particularly attractive for practices introducing digital dermoscopy gradually: the same hand-held dermatoscope can be used for both conventional optical examination and digital imaging.

HEINE DERM App

Mobile documentation of dermoscopic images

The HEINE DERM App extends smartphone-based dermoscopy beyond simply taking photographs.

Dermoscopic images can be documented and organised for later examinations. An important feature is the ability to assign lesions to a body region using a body map, helping users identify where a particular image was taken.

Depending on the workflow, additional information can be associated with an image and photographs from different examination dates can be compared.

This creates a structured digital workflow:

Examination → Image Capture → Body Map → Documentation → Follow-up

Digital follow-up

Documenting skin lesions over time

One of the most valuable applications of digital dermoscopy is longitudinal documentation.

Instead of assessing a lesion only during a single examination, a dermoscopic image can be stored and compared with a new image during a later appointment.

This creates a traceable sequence:

Initial image → Documentation → Follow-up examination → New image → Image comparison

For lesions that require observation over time, structured digital image documentation can therefore be a valuable addition to the clinical workflow.

HEINE DERManager

Professional management of dermoscopic images and data

For more extensive digital dermoscopy requirements, HEINE offers DERManager as a solution for managing dermoscopic images and associated information.

Digital images can be organised and made available again for subsequent examinations, supporting a more structured approach to dermoscopic documentation.

DERManager is particularly relevant for users and medical facilities that want to integrate digital dermoscopy more systematically into their workflows.

The HEINE system therefore offers different levels of digital integration:

HEINE Dermatoscope

→ Smartphone imaging

→ HEINE DERM App

→ Professional digital image and data management

This modular approach allows practices to choose the level of digital documentation that best matches their requirements.

HEINE Dermatoscope + smartphone or a separate digital system?

Smartphone connectivity offers an important practical advantage: a HEINE DELTA dermatoscope remains a mobile, independently usable diagnostic instrument.

A smartphone is not required for a conventional examination. When documentation is needed, the compatible smartphone and adapter can be added to capture the dermoscopic image.

Users therefore do not necessarily have to choose between conventional and digital dermoscopy.

This modular concept can be particularly interesting for dermatology practices, general practitioners and other medical professionals who want to introduce digital documentation without giving up the flexibility of a hand-held dermatoscope.

Which HEINE Dermatoscope should I choose?

The DELTA models address different priorities.

The decision should therefore not be based on price alone.

Important selection criteria include:

• frequency of use;
• examination comfort;
• field of view;
• mobility;
• examination techniques;
• digital imaging requirements;
• smartphone connectivity;
• desired documentation workflow.

HEINE Dermatoscopes and digital workflows

When choosing a professional dermatoscope today, it can be useful to consider how clinical workflows may develop in the future.

Even if the instrument is initially intended exclusively for conventional optical examination, the possibility of adding digital image capture and documentation later can be valuable.

This is one of the strengths of the HEINE concept: compatible dermatoscopes, smartphone adapters and digital solutions can be combined into a modular workflow.

Digital dermoscopy can therefore be introduced progressively – from visual examination to structured digital documentation and follow-up.

Accessories for HEINE Dermatoscopes

A range of accessories is available for the different HEINE DELTA models.

Depending on the model, these may include:

• contact plates;
• small contact plates for difficult-to-access lesions;
• smartphone adapters;
• digital imaging accessories;
• charging and power solutions;
• cases and protective accessories.

As compatibility varies between models, it is important to check which accessories are designed for the specific DELTA dermatoscope before ordering.
