Subject: Dermlite
Seeing conservation in a whole new light Finding the right instrument or apparatus for the many different and distinctive types of conservation each of us performs in our practice is always a challenge. But I think I've found something of universal interest to all of us. Its called Dermlite. As the name implies, it is an instrument made primarily for use in dermatological exams. But the features of the Dermlite model DL100 make it ideal for conservators working in the lab or in the field. Battery operated, the Dermlite features a 10X optically-perfect lens atop a polarizing filter to cut surface glare and render the image being viewed as though it was being seen with the naked eye. Add to that a ring of perfectly balanced LED's to illuminate the surface, and you are now looking at a painting surface, a work of art on paper, or virtually anything in a whole new way. The nice thing about Dermlite is that it's a professional product made to withstand constant daily use and comes with a five-year warranty. No prescription is needed to purchase it. Add-on accessories include a well-made belt pouch and a form-fitting silicone case, so it can be added to a service belt or hand carried. The extra protection of the silicone case takes the worry out of accidentally dropping the instrument on a hard surface. The batteries are easy to find in drug stores, supermarkets, or specialty stores like Radio Shack. There are a few different Dermlite models, and each has features that may fit your specific practice in a unique way. For instance, if you have need to send an exam image to a fellow conservator, there is a model that matches up to an iPhone so you can easily share images or quickly publish them on the Internet. Dermlite has a special $249.00 price for all DistList readers on the DL 100 model. That is a savings of $126.00 per unit.
