A new device from Australia is better than most doctors at detecting
malignant melanomas, and could drastically improve the chances of detecting skin
cancers at a treatable stage. The Skin Polarprobe, developed by medical
instrument company Polartechnics, works by capturing an image of a skin lesion
with a low-power microscope. It then looks for more than 120
properties—including colour and symmetry—of known skin cancers.
