Capillaroscopes compatible with Capillary.io
Choose the capillaroscope you need with expert guidance based on image quality, clinical workflow and compatibility with capillaroscopy software.
The real difference is capturing assessable images, preserving scale and context, analyzing them in an organized system and producing useful reports. That is why these devices are selected for use with Capillary.io.
Inspectis is the main high-end option and is quoted on request through us as an official distributor. Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite are more affordable alternatives that you can purchase in our online store.
The main option when you need maximum image quality, 5 MP resolution and a system suited to advanced clinical use.
An affordable Full HD capillaroscope with fast autofocus and a dedicated nailfold capillaroscopy head.
A compact model designed for nailfold microcirculation, with 50x for panoramic views and 200x for standard images.

Nailfold capillaroscopy needs a balanced combination of field of view, sharpness, reflection control, calibration, ergonomics and software. Without traceability, a good-looking image can still be hard to compare over time.
High nominal magnification is not enough. The device should show enough nailfold length with a reliable scale for comparison.
The image should allow branches, apex, density and microhemorrhages to be distinguished without glare hiding the distal row.
Capillary.io automatically calibrates Inspectis, Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite so measurements keep physical scale without manual steps.
Software matters as much as optics: hand, finger, sector, date, image quality and later retrieval should stay organized.
If you purchase Capillary.io, CapillaryScope can capture images with automatic calibration and send them to the web platform for analysis, collaboration and reporting.
Without Capillary.io, each device can still be used with its own software: Inspectis includes capillaroscopy-specific software, while Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite use generic microscopy applications. All three can be used with Capillary.io CapillaryScope.
Labels each image with hand, finger and sector, preserves metadata and helps upload images to Capillary.io.
Automatically calibrates Inspectis, Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite so you can work with physical scale from the start.
Groups studies, fingers, sectors and visits so images are not left as loose files.
Automatically evaluates image quality and flags common problems that may affect interpretation.
Detects, measures and classifies capillaries for professional review and editing.
Detects hemorrhages and incorporates them into the quantitative capillaroscopy summary.
Suggests a capillaroscopic pattern from quantitative findings using our CAPI-Detect algorithm.
Generates standardized reports and supports download or printing for clinical documentation.
Uploads many images at once and processes them in an organized workflow.
Exports capillaroscopies or complete series as DICOM ZIP for clinical archiving or interoperability.
Shares projects with other professionals and supports multi-center case review.
Controls collaborator permissions and tracks changes, activity and notifications.
If you want to understand the technique rather than only buy the equipment, Capillaroscopy.com includes capillaroscopy fundamentals, interactive pattern examples, clinical cases, an image library and educational resources.
Capillaroscopy.comReview microcirculation, technique, patterns and interpretation criteria step by step.
Open fundamentalsExplore full normal, non-specific and systemic sclerosis studies with an interactive viewer.
Open patternsConnect capillaroscopy images with clinical context, interpretation and discussion.
Open casesBrowse examples of findings, artifacts, patterns and abnormalities for visual comparison.
Open libraryImages are grouped by capillaroscope so you can review the device and capture examples without mixing them with Capillary.io software screenshots.
If you need a specific answer for a center or protocol, send the form and we will reply with a tailored recommendation.
In commercial use, the terms are often used interchangeably. A video capillaroscope is a digital capillaroscope that displays and captures the image on a computer or compatible device.
If you want an affordable and direct setup, Smart G-Scope is usually the simplest option. If you prefer Dino-Lite or need 50x panoramic images in addition to 200x, Dino-Lite CapillaryScope 200 Pro is a good alternative.
Inspectis makes sense if you are looking for a high-end solution, 5 MP resolution, advanced optics and a system better suited to specialist clinics, advanced training or research.
Yes. All three models integrate natively with Capillary.io and CapillaryScope, including automatic calibration for Inspectis, Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite.
No. Capillary.io is optional software and is purchased separately. Without Capillary.io, Inspectis includes capillaroscopy-specific software; Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite can be used with generic microscopy software.
Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite link to their product pages at store.capillary.io. Inspectis is handled through the form because it requires a custom quote.
Some USB microscopes may be useful for learning or initial screening, but field of view, focus, illumination, calibration and image quality should be validated before structured follow-up use.
Tell us what you need and we will reply with the most reasonable option. For Smart G-Scope and Dino-Lite, you can also open the product page in the online store.
