HEINE DELTA 30 Dermatoscope

High-end dermoscopy with a large 30 mm field of view

The HEINE DELTA 30 Dermatoscope is designed for medical professionals who place particular importance on image quality, a large field of view and excellent examination comfort in everyday dermoscopy. Within the HEINE DELTA family, it is positioned above the particularly compact DELTAone and provides considerably more viewing area through its larger optical system.

With 10x magnification, a true 30 mm field of view, HEINE achromatic optical system, LEDHQ and polarised and non-polarised illumination, the DELTA 30 combines premium optics with an ergonomic instrument design.

True 30 mm field of view

More overview during dermoscopic examination

One of the defining features of the HEINE DELTA 30 is its particularly large field of view.

Its 32 mm lens provides a true usable field of view of 30 mm in diameter. This offers considerably more viewing area than the compact DELTAone with its 21 mm field of view.

The larger viewing area is particularly advantageous for regular and intensive dermoscopic examinations. A larger skin area can be observed without having to reposition the instrument as frequently.

For dermatologists examining numerous lesions every day, this can make a noticeable difference in examination comfort and workflow.

10x magnification

The HEINE DELTA 30 provides 10x magnification for detailed assessment of dermoscopic structures.

Magnification alone, however, does not determine the quality of a dermatoscope. HEINE combines 10x magnification with a large field of view and a specially developed achromatic optical system.

The result is a combination of:

• excellent detail recognition;
• a broad overview of the examined area;
• high image sharpness;
• strong contrast;
• comfortable observation.

This makes the DELTA 30 particularly suitable for intensive professional dermoscopy.

HEINE achromatic optical system

Crystal-clear imaging for professional dermoscopy

The DELTA 30 features a high-quality HEINE achromatic optical system designed to provide a particularly sharp, high-contrast image.

The combination of premium optics, a large field of view and controlled illumination supports differentiated observation of pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions.

This optical concept is one of the key differences between the DELTA 30 and smaller conventional hand-held dermatoscopes: the focus is not simply on magnification, but on providing a large, clear and comfortable dermoscopic view.

HEINE LEDHQ

Natural colour rendering and homogeneous illumination

Even subtle colour differences can be relevant during dermoscopic examination. For this reason, HEINE equips the DELTA 30 with its LEDHQ technology.

It combines homogeneous illumination with natural colour rendering, supporting differentiated visual assessment of colours and dermoscopic structures.

The DELTA 30 also offers three illumination intensity levels, allowing the brightness to be adjusted to the examination situation and the individual preference of the user.

Polarised and non-polarised light

The HEINE DELTA 30 supports examination using both polarised and non-polarised light.

The two illumination techniques provide different views of the skin structures being examined.

Polarised light reduces disturbing reflections from the skin surface and facilitates the observation of subsurface structures.

Non-polarised illumination complements the examination by providing a different view of superficial structures.

Using both techniques can therefore provide additional visual information during dermoscopic examination.

HEINE Toggle Function

Switch polarisation at the touch of a button

The HEINE Toggle Function allows the user to switch directly between polarised and non-polarised illumination.

There is no need to modify or reconfigure the instrument between the two viewing modes.

This allows the same lesion to be observed immediately under different illumination conditions:

Polarised → Toggle → Non-polarised → Compare

For professionals performing dermoscopy throughout the working day, this quick switching function contributes to an efficient examination workflow.

Contact and non-contact dermoscopy

The DELTA 30 supports flexible use for contact and non-contact examination.

For conventional contact dermoscopy, the contact plate is positioned directly on the skin.

Polarised illumination also allows dermoscopic observation without the immersion medium traditionally associated with conventional contact dermoscopy.

The examination technique can therefore be adapted to the lesion, anatomical location and individual clinical situation.

Autoclavable contact plate with scale

The DELTA 30 is equipped with a contact plate featuring an integrated scale.

The contact plate can be autoclaved, supporting hygienic reprocessing in professional medical environments.

The integrated scale additionally provides a useful visual size reference during examination.

Small contact plate for difficult-to-access areas

An optional small contact plate is available for the DELTA 30.

It facilitates dermoscopic examination in anatomically difficult-to-access areas, for example:

• between the fingers;
• between the toes;
• within skin folds;
• on small or difficult-to-reach skin areas.

This accessory extends the versatility of the larger DELTA 30 to examination situations where a standard contact plate may be less practical.

Individual focusing and dioptre adjustment

The DELTA 30 allows the image to be individually focused directly on the instrument.

Its dioptre compensation of approximately -4 to +4 dpt allows the optical system to be adjusted to the individual user.

This feature contributes to the high viewing comfort of the DELTA 30, particularly when the instrument is used repeatedly throughout the day.

Ergonomic design

Designed for intensive everyday dermoscopy

HEINE developed the DELTA 30 with an angled ergonomic instrument design.

This allows the dermatoscope to be held and positioned comfortably during examination and is particularly relevant for professionals performing numerous dermoscopic examinations every day.

This is also where the difference between DELTA 30 and DELTAone becomes especially clear:

DELTAone → maximum compactness and mobility

DELTA 30 → large field of view and high examination comfort

Both offer professional HEINE optical quality, but they address different priorities in everyday clinical use.

Digital dermoscopy with the HEINE DELTA 30

From optical examination to digital documentation

With suitable accessories, the DELTA 30 can also be integrated into a digital imaging and documentation workflow.

A compatible smartphone can be connected to the dermatoscope using the appropriate HEINE smartphone adapter.

This creates a modular workflow:

DELTA 30 → Smartphone Adapter → Smartphone → Dermoscopic Image → Documentation

A smartphone is not required for normal optical examination. The DELTA 30 remains a fully functional professional optical dermatoscope and can be digitally expanded whenever image capture or documentation is required.

Capture and compare dermoscopic images

Smartphone connectivity allows dermoscopic images to be captured directly during examination.

This can be particularly useful for:

• photographic documentation of lesions;
• follow-up examinations;
• comparison of previous and current images;
• medical documentation;
• professional exchange;
• obtaining a second opinion;
• education and training.

The DELTA 30 can therefore combine immediate optical examination with the advantages of a modern digital documentation workflow.

HEINE DERM App

Structured digital documentation and follow-up

When the DELTA 30 is used with a compatible smartphone and the appropriate adapter, digital imaging can be incorporated into the HEINE DERM App workflow.

Dermoscopic images can be documented in a structured manner and assigned to the corresponding body regions.

A typical workflow can therefore look like this:

Examination → Image Capture → Body Location → Documentation → Follow-up → Comparison

For lesions that need to be monitored over time, structured image documentation can provide a valuable addition to conventional visual dermoscopy.

Rechargeable Li-ion battery

The DELTA 30 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery designed for convenient everyday professional use.

Li-ion technology allows the instrument to be recharged regardless of its current charge level.

Depending on the configuration, the DELTA 30 can be charged using the appropriate charging solution or with the optional HEINE Charger 30 table charging station.

For practices using the dermatoscope frequently, the table charger is particularly convenient because it provides the instrument with a defined storage and charging location between examinations.

HEINE DELTA 30 or DELTAone?

Both dermatoscopes provide high-quality HEINE optics, LEDHQ, 10x magnification and switchable polarisation. Their main difference is the overall instrument concept.

The DELTA 30 is particularly attractive for professionals who use their dermatoscope intensively and prefer the largest possible viewing area.

The DELTAone is the more compact choice when mobility and minimal dimensions are the priority.

DELTA 30 or DELTA 30 PRO?

Above the classic DELTA 30, HEINE offers the DELTA 30 PRO with additional imaging technologies.

The PRO model extends the DELTA 30 concept with features such as a specialised LEDHQ arrangement for enhanced spatial perception of lesions and HEINE colorSHIFT with four selectable colour temperature settings.

This creates a clear hierarchy within the premium HEINE range:

DELTAone → compact and mobile

DELTA 30 → large field of view and high-end dermoscopy

DELTA 30 PRO → advanced imaging and additional illumination control

The classic DELTA 30 therefore remains an excellent choice for professionals who want a large premium dermatoscope without requiring the additional imaging functions of the PRO model.
