The OBSERV 520X has 10 different observation modes: 

• Daylight – this controlled environment presents the skin as it would be seen in a natural daylight environment  
• Surface texture – this displays the skin’s textural topography  
• Pigmentation – this highlights and brings attention to a variety of skin tone irregularities such as sun damage, pigmentation 
• Vascularity – this shows the network of microvascular structures in the skin that cause redness and face flushing 
• Parallel Polarised – this provides a magnified view of the of the skin’s surface, any fine lines, wrinkles, different textures and pores 
• Cross Polarised – provides an unobstructed view of dermal structures, vascular conditions, any inflammation and any pigmentation by suppressing surface shine  
• True UV – this created distinguishable fluorescent patterns in order to expose abnormalities on both the surface layer of the skin and the deeper layers   
• Simulated Woods Light – this works to reveal diagnostic dimensions including skin oiliness and dehydration by adjusting the spectrum of light on the skin 
• 360 Light – this allows us to understand the volume present in the face to advise specialists on whether age management treatments or dermal fillers can be recommended 
• 360 Grey – this reveals topographical signs of ageing by removing any colour distractions
