DELTAone 2019-2020

Designers: Held+Team, Hamburg, Germany
Manufacturer: Heine Optotechnik GmbH & Co. KG., Herrsching, Germany


The DELTAone is the basic tool for the daily work of a dermatologist. The small and handy dermatoscope is used for looking on skin. With the DELTAone, the experienced dermatologist can see right down to the top layers of the skin. Due to the optimized size, the device fits every pocket and can be carried around during doctors' daily routines. Different light intensities are offered to choose from, and the convenient toggle function for switching between polarized and non-polarized light ensures comfortable workflow.

The handle itself includes the complete electronic, the battery, and the LED light source. Despite the large optical system, which offers a "real" field of view of 21 mm, the device lies perfectly balanced in hand.

The design of the handle should fit to any size of hand, giving a secure and comfortable grip in any position of use.

The autoclavable contact disc with scale offers hygienic protection.

With an iPhone, the associated Heine app, and a Heine adapter shell, the DELTAone can also be used for digital documentation.

Consistent characteristics are linked to an overall Heine - Corporate Product Design.
