DermLens M6 achromatic optical system with its lens elements shown above the 30 mm lens housing

Professional 10× dermoscopy with a wide 30 mm optical lens, polarised, non-polarised and amber illumination, with seamless smartphone image capture.

Designed by dermatologists for clear visualisation, intuitive examination and effortless clinical documentation.

Precision optics

Clarity begins with glass.

At the heart of DermLens M6 is a precision 30 mm optical system delivering 10× magnification and a wide, detailed dermoscopic view.

Designed for clear visualisation of the colours, structures and vascular features encountered in everyday dermoscopy — whether examining directly through the lens or capturing an image with a smartphone.

Illumination

Different structures. Different light.

Dermoscopic structures can appear differently depending on how the skin is illuminated. M6 provides three illumination modes within a single instrument.

Cross-polarised dermoscopic view

Cross-polarised

See beyond surface reflection.

Reduces surface glare to support visualisation of subsurface pigmentation, vascular patterns and other dermoscopic structures.

Non-polarised dermoscopic view

Non-polarised

Bring surface detail into view.

Supports visualisation of superficial structures including scale, keratin and other surface features during contact dermoscopy.

Amber 600 nm dermoscopic view

Amber 600 nm

Enhance pigment contrast.

600 nm amber illumination is designed to enhance contrast in pigmented structures within the lesion, providing an additional view alongside conventional polarised and non-polarised dermoscopy.

Modern dermoscopy

See more. Without getting closer.

Traditional dermoscopy often requires the clinician to position their eye close to the dermatoscope — and therefore close to the patient.

DermLens M6 offers a more contemporary way to examine.

Two ways to connect.

Included

Universal smartphone adaptor

Every DermLens M6 includes a universal smartphone adaptor, giving clinicians the flexibility to connect M6 across a wide range of smartphones.

Optional

Dedicated phone case

For selected smartphone models, an optional dedicated DermLens phone case provides an even faster workflow. Keep the case on your phone, snap M6 directly into position and begin viewing.

Smartphone dermoscopy

Snap.View.Magnify.Capture.

M6 is designed to make digital dermoscopy feel like a natural extension of the examination.

The magnetic smartphone interface allows you to move quickly from handheld dermoscopy to an enlarged on-screen view — without a dedicated camera system or complicated imaging setup.

01 — Snap

Connect in seconds.

Connect M6 using the included universal smartphone adaptor — or snap it directly onto a compatible DermLens phone case.

No app dependency. No dedicated camera system. Just M6, a compatible smartphone and a clearer way to examine, magnify and capture.

Clinical usability

Designedaround everydaydermoscopy.

M6 brings precision optics, multiple illumination modes and smartphone imaging together in a compact aluminium instrument designed for everyday clinical use.

From screen-based examination and image capture to conventional contact dermoscopy when required, M6 gives clinicians the flexibility to examine in the way that best suits the lesion, anatomical location and clinical situation.

01

Compact by design

A compact handheld form designed to sit naturally in the hand and remain easy to carry between consultations.

02

Integrated measurement scales

Measurement scales on both the contact plate and the handle of the dermoscope provide a convenient visual reference when assessing lesion dimensions during dermoscopic examination.

03

Intuitive controls

Switch between polarised, non-polarised and 600 nm amber illumination directly from the device, keeping the examination simple and focused.

04

Contact when required

Use M6 for contact dermoscopy when required, with the contact plate providing direct lesion contact and a measurement reference at the point of examination.

05

USB-C rechargeable

Simple USB-C charging keeps M6 ready for everyday clinical use without relying on disposable batteries.

06

Smartphone ready

Connect using the included universal smartphone adaptor, or snap M6 directly onto an optional dedicated DermLens phone case available for selected smartphone models.

Design

Purpose in every detail.

From the optical housing and illumination controls to the aluminium body and magnetic imaging interface, every element of M6 has been considered around the practical requirements of everyday dermoscopy.
