A handheld dermatoscope is a medical device that is used to examine the skin and nails in close detail. It is a portable, magnifying instrument that is often used by dermatologists to diagnose and monitor skin conditions.

A nailfold capillaroscopy is a diagnostic procedure that involves examining the small blood vessels (capillaries) in the skin near the nails. It is typically used to diagnose and monitor connective tissue diseases, such as scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Some handheld dermatoscopes have the capability to be used as a nailfold capillaroscopy instrument. The dermatoscope can be used to magnify and illuminate the skin and nails, allowing the healthcare provider to see the capillaries more clearly.
