The natural tendency for the dermatologist is to examine the patient at “20X”, akin to the dermatopathologist examining a section on a microscope slide. With the advent of dermoscopy and its expanding utility, the clinician may begin at 20X but then quickly goes to “100X” via the dermatoscope. A major teaching point of... |
