The Visioscan® VC 20plus is a unique LED UV-A light video camera with high resolution to study the skin surface directly. The images show impressively the structure of the skin and the level of dryness/scaliness on the skin. With its multi-functional software, the Visioscan® VC 20plus is a very flexible system to characterize skin surface condition easily, accurately and very economically. The camera features a high resolution b/w video sensor and a LED UV-A light source with circular diffusor for uniform illumination of the skin. Autofocus function is provided by the liquid lens system. • Efficacy testing & claim support for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and detergents, regarding skin roughness and microtopography. • Typical claims: e.g. improves skin texture, antiageing, wrinkle smoothing, fighting dry skin. • Dermatological basic research. The new Visioscan® generation with improved hard- and software offers a multitude of possibilities: • Very sharp, high resolution & non-glossy images due to special LED UV-light and diffusor. • Electronically controlled lens (autofocus) for maximum depth of focus. • Easy handling of the ergonomic camera and the comfortable software. • Worldwide established method used in many studies. • A check calibration function ensures the accuracy of geometry of the camera. • Quick and easy display of “3D“ images in false colour or grey values. • The extremely economic system can easily compete with more expensive, complex devices. • Convenient organisation of images and results in studies. Evaluation of all data together by one click. • Easy filter and export functions of data to Excel®. • A Visioscan® based system was even used on the ISS in space (Study by DermaTronnier, instruments verified for space by Kayser-Threde GmbH on behalf of the DLR space travel management).

Software & Parameters • The camera system is connected to the computer by USB. A variety of interesting parameters can be determined: • The evaluation method SELS® (Surface Evaluation of the Living Skin - developed by the Institute for Experimental Dermatology, Prof. Tronnier, • University of Witten-Herdecke, Germany) analyses the grey level distribution and allows the calculation of four clinical parameters to quantita- • tively and qualitatively describe the skin surface as an index: Skin smoothness (SEsm) • Scaliness (SEsc) For topographic measurement according to DIN, lines are automatically...
