What camera should I buy to take dermoscopic images?
Both types of hand held dermatoscopes can usually be connected to digital cameras, either directly, via a screw thread, or via an adapter ring. Cameras and dermatoscopes vary and may not be compatible, therefore please contact the manufacturer of the device for specific recommendations. The cross- polarised devices may need to be placed in contact with skin to avoid camera shake, the newer devices have an extendable faceplate for this purpose. Again consider the risk of cross contamination.
