HEINE DELTAone Dermatoscope

Compact, convenient and designed for everyday use

The DELTAone follows a different concept from the larger models of the DELTA 30 family.

While the HEINE DELTA 30 and DELTA 30 PRO place particular emphasis on a large viewing system and examination comfort, the DELTAone focuses on maximum mobility while maintaining professional optical performance.

Its compact format makes it particularly convenient for:

• moving between different examination rooms;
• mobile medical use;
• home visits;
• space-saving storage;
• keeping the dermatoscope readily available throughout the working day.

The DELTAone should therefore not simply be regarded as a smaller dermatoscope. It is a deliberately compact professional solution within the HEINE DELTA family.

10x magnification

The HEINE DELTAone provides 10x magnification, enabling detailed observation of dermoscopic structures.

The combination of magnification, a high-quality optical system and controlled illumination supports the differentiated visual examination of pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions.

With a compact dermatoscope in particular, the quality of the complete optical system is more important than magnification alone.

HEINE LEDHQ

High-quality illumination for professional dermoscopy

HEINE equips the DELTAone with its LEDHQ technology.

Uniform illumination and natural colour rendering are particularly important in dermoscopy, where subtle differences in colour and dermoscopic structures need to be visualised as clearly as possible.

LED technology also provides the benefits of a modern, durable light source designed for regular professional use.

Polarised and non-polarised light

A major advantage of the HEINE DELTAone is the ability to examine the skin using polarised and non-polarised light.

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

Polarised light reduces disturbing reflections from the skin surface and facilitates visualisation of subsurface structures without the immersion medium traditionally associated with conventional contact dermoscopy.

Non-polarised light complements the examination and allows additional superficial structures to be assessed.

The ability to switch between illumination modes makes the DELTAone a versatile instrument for different dermoscopic examination situations.

Contact dermoscopy

The DELTAone can be used with a suitable contact plate for conventional contact dermoscopy.

Direct positioning on the skin provides stable and controlled examination of the lesion.

Depending on the examination technique, an appropriate contact medium can also be used.

Small contact plate for difficult-to-access lesions

A small contact plate is available for specific examination situations.

It can facilitate the examination of lesions in anatomically difficult-to-access areas, for example:

• between the fingers;
• between the toes;
• within skin folds;
• in small or confined anatomical areas.

This extends the compact DELTAone concept to examination situations where a standard contact plate may be less convenient.

Flexible contact and non-contact examination

The DELTAone supports different examination techniques and can be adapted to the clinical situation.

The combination of polarised illumination and suitable contact solutions provides flexibility for conventional contact dermoscopy as well as examinations where direct contact with the skin is not desirable.

This can be useful when examining sensitive, painful or difficult-to-access lesions.

Digital dermoscopy with the HEINE DELTAone

Extending the dermatoscope with a smartphone

The DELTAone is not limited to conventional optical dermoscopy. With suitable accessories, it can also be integrated into a digital imaging workflow.

A compatible HEINE smartphone adapter allows the DELTAone to be connected to a smartphone.

This creates a modular workflow:

DELTAone → Smartphone Adapter → Smartphone → Dermoscopic Image → Documentation

The important advantage is that a smartphone is not required for normal examinations. The DELTAone remains a fully functional optical dermatoscope and can be digitally extended whenever image capture or documentation is required.

Capture dermoscopic images with a smartphone

Connecting the DELTAone to a compatible smartphone camera allows dermoscopic images to be captured directly during the examination.

This can support:

• photographic documentation of lesions;
• image capture for follow-up examinations;
• comparison of lesions over time;
• medical documentation;
• patient communication;
• medical education and professional exchange.

Digital dermoscopy can therefore be incorporated into everyday practice without requiring a permanently integrated camera system.

HEINE DERM App

Structured documentation and follow-up

Digital use of the DELTAone can be complemented by the HEINE DERM App.

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

A typical digital workflow can therefore look like this:

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

For skin lesions that need to be monitored over time, structured image documentation can be a valuable addition to the dermatological workflow.

DELTAone as a mobile Dermatoscope

Mobility is one of the key strengths of the DELTAone.

Its compact design is particularly suitable for medical professionals who do not use their dermatoscope exclusively at a fixed examination station.

Typical applications include:

• dermatology practices;
• general medical practices;
• hospitals and outpatient departments;
• multiple examination rooms;
• home visits;
• mobile medical services.

The DELTAone is therefore particularly easy to integrate into workflows where the dermatoscope needs to be carried regularly between different locations.

HEINE DELTAone or DELTA 30?

Both instruments belong to the professional DELTA family but have different priorities.

The DELTAone is particularly attractive when compact dimensions and mobility are priorities.

The DELTA 30, on the other hand, is worth considering for professionals who prefer a larger instrument and particularly comfortable viewing during intensive dermoscopic examinations.

Who is the HEINE DELTAone suitable for?

The DELTAone is particularly suitable for:

• dermatologists;
• general practitioners;
• family physicians;
• outpatient facilities;
• hospitals and clinics;
• physicians working in multiple examination rooms;
• mobile medical services.

It is especially interesting for users looking for professional dermoscopy in a highly compact instrument without giving up modern illumination, polarisation and digital expansion options.

Accessories for the HEINE DELTAone

Depending on the application, different accessories are available for the DELTAone.

These may include:

• contact plates;
• small contact plates;
• smartphone adapters;
• charging and power solutions;
• cases and protective accessories;
• accessories for digital imaging.

For digital accessories, the compatibility between the DELTAone, smartphone adapter and smartphone model should be checked before purchasing.

Compatible components can be found in our Dermatoscope Accessories category.

Frequently asked questions about the HEINE DELTAone

What magnification does the HEINE DELTAone provide?

The HEINE DELTAone provides 10x magnification for the dermoscopic examination of skin lesions.

Does the DELTAone have polarised light?

Yes. The DELTAone supports examination using polarised and non-polarised light.

Can the HEINE DELTAone be used without contact fluid?

Polarised dermoscopy can be performed without the immersion medium traditionally used in conventional contact dermoscopy. The appropriate examination technique depends on the individual application.

Can the DELTAone be connected to a smartphone?

Yes. With a suitable HEINE smartphone adapter, a compatible smartphone can be used to capture dermoscopic images.

Do I need a smartphone to use the DELTAone?

No. The DELTAone is a fully functional optical dermatoscope. Smartphone connectivity is an optional extension for digital image capture and documentation.

Is the DELTAone suitable for follow-up examinations?

Digital dermoscopic images can be documented and subsequently reviewed or compared during later examinations, making digital imaging useful for monitoring lesions over time.

What is the main difference between DELTAone and DELTA 30?

The DELTAone is considerably more compact and focused on mobility. The DELTA 30 uses a larger instrument and viewing concept designed to provide particularly comfortable observation during regular professional dermoscopy.

Is a small contact plate available for the DELTAone?

Yes. A small contact plate is available for appropriate examination situations and can facilitate the examination of difficult-to-access areas.
