CapillaryScope

Capillaroscopy is the examination of the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) of the skin at the nailrim. The Dino-Lite CapillaryScope can show the capillaries in high magnification, as well as the decrease in capillaries, knot formation in capillaries and bleeding. With this information doctors can diagnose the condition of the blood vessels in the rest of the body. Capillaroscopy of the cuticle can demonstrate, for example, scleroderma or dermatomyositis.

The Dino-Lite CapillaryScope has been specially developed for capillaroscopy of the cuticle. The images can be captured as still photos or video. The resolution of 1,3 megapixel and magnifications around 200 or 500x assure the acquisition of clear pictures. The digital images can be stored on any digital medium.
