SIAscope

SIAscope, or Spectrophotometric Intracutaneous analysis scope, is a form of Dermatoscope created by Astron Clinica. It uses light to generate an image of skin. Using proprietary software and an understanding of the physical interaction of light and skin chromaphore it is able to resolve an image showing level and distribution of melanin, collagen and haemoglobin. It creates in effect skin "maps" for each of these chromophores.
