USB digital microscope tricoscope TricoScope, 8 LEDs, 10-70x and 200x

Digital microscope tricoscope USB TrichoScope®, 8 LEDs, 10-70x and 200x

General features:

Trichoscopy is the relatively young science studying the health of hair and scalp. Trichoscopy is often practiced by dermatologists, but more and more medical professionals become proficient in this science. Dino Lite's TrichoScope® is a perfect tool for trichoscopy, as the digital microscope is a great instrument to study scalp, hair shaft and hair itself in detail.

In the case of hair loss, trichoscopy can mean a lot for patients since there are more than 50 known causes for hair loss and only a detailed study can bring the cause to light. The images obtained with the TrichoScope® can help specialists to recognize the skin or hair problems and diseases as well as to decide on the treatment method and resources or to prescribe the right medication.

Wide scope:

The TrichoScope® is not just relevant for the medical world. In forensic science (the science concerned with finding evidence in criminal investigations) the TrichoScope® is becoming a valued partner.
With the TrichoScope® pictures, the forensic specialist can draw important conclusions when it comes to the victim’s age, weight, race and health. A criminal investigation can find support thanks to this device.

The TrichoScope® is also becoming an increasingly common phenomenon in hair salons. Customers can literally get a better view of their hair treatment by watching the results together with the hair specialist on a PC, laptop or Windows tablet. The results of treatment with hair growth and improvement products can be shown with before/after pictures.

Made to work:

The TrichoScope® is robust, available with various ranges of magnification and there are models available with VGA, 1.3 megapixel and 5 megapixel. Thanks to the built-in bright white LED’s, an external light source is not needed. The TrichoScope® is connected and powered by USB so no batteries are required.

Models:

• High resolution, aluminium framework 186-MEDL7HMA: this TrichoScope is a great instrument for the examination of human scalp and hair analysis, e.g. for hair loss research. With the high magnification of up to 200 times, a single hair can be viewed with great detail.
  The 5 megapixel sensor makes it possible to display microscopic images without loss of quality on large screens or when large images need to be printed.
• The medium model 186-MEDL4HMA is a great instrument for the examination of human scalp and hair analysis, e.g. for hair loss research.
  With the high magnification of up to 200 times, a single hair can be viewed with great detail.
• The basic model 186-MEDL3H is a great instrument for the examination of human scalp and hair analysis, e.g. for hair loss research. The special cone shaped cap allows easy separation of hair from head. With the high magnification of up to 200 times, a single hair can be viewed with great detail.
