The new handyscope^® for iPhone 5 features a slim design and a unique twin-light mode that combines the advantages of cross-polarized and immersion fluid dermoscopy. A quick tap button provides for toggling between both modes and a LED indicates thechosen light option.

The new model enables doctors to take pictures with or without glass contact with the skin. Two front pieces - one with a glass contact plate and one without - allow doctors to view elevated lesions and vascular conditions without compression.

handyscope^® has been helping doctors detect skin cancer since 2010. The new handyscope^® is still used with the password protected handyscope^® app. With one tap doctors freeze, save and evaluate an image on-screen, organize and manage images, tag (News - Alert) images with patient data and comments, and select the localization using the app's virtual patient diagrams. A new feature exclusive to handyscope^® for iPhone 5 is a special notch in the case that allows doctors to connect the phone to a monitor so patients can follow an examination, and also charge the phone with handyscope^® attached.

Pictures can be uploaded from the app into a secure private web space on the FotoFinder Hub, a cloud-like internet platform. Once images are uploaded, doctors can request a second opinion on suspicious moles from international skin cancer experts, who rate the pictures within hours.

"The relaunch of handyscope for iPhone 5 is the result of doctors´ feedback and requirements for modern mobile dermoscopy. Additional functions like the Hub with web storage and second opinion service create a complete and safe storage solution and the perfect surrounding to detect skin cancer earlier. That's why handyscope^® is the only device for eDermoscopy," says Andreas Mayer, CEO of FotoFinder Systems.
