Core Features of the Capillary Scope
The capillaries come into sharp focus so quickly―does the capillary scope use autofocus?
No, the GOKO Bscan-Z uses manual focus. Because each capillary lies at a slightly different depth beneath the skin, autofocus is not suitable for ultra-high magnification and often fails to focus accurately. The GOKO Bscan-Z enables rapid and precise observation of capillaries just beneath the skin. Compared to previous models, its depth of field is improved by approximately 10%, making it easier to visualize a wider range of vessels.
Can this scope measure blood flow in capillaries?
Yes. By connecting the GOKO Bscan-Z to a Windows PC using the optional NTSC-USB2.0 converter set, you can capture and save still images and videos. With the optional GOKO-VIP software, blood flow velocity can be quantified. Additionally, GOKO Measure Plus software allows advanced image analysis, including vessel shape recognition and capillary counting.
Note: For those who prefer to display images on a PC rather than a monitor, the USB model ― GOKO Bscan-ZD ― is also available.
Can I observe capillaries in areas other than fingertips?
Yes. By detaching the camera from the stand, you can observe capillaries on the scalp, arms, legs, tongue, gums, and more. Using the optional Non-reflex cap, you can capture sharp, high-quality images of capillaries across the body.
Can anyone use the capillary scope?
Yes. This product is not classified as a medical device, so no special license or qualification is required to use it.
Beauty & Anti-Aging
Are capillaries related to beauty and anti-aging?
Yes. Capillaries with good blood flow are said to promote healthy skin turnover, helping to prevent dark spots and dullness. Conversely, poor circulation is believed to accelerate skin aging.
Can I observe scalp circulation with this scope?
Yes. You can examine capillaries on the frontal, crown, and occipital regions of the scalp. The optional Non-reflex cap helps part the hair and capture clear images of the underlying vessels.
What is the relationship between high-concentration oxygen or hydrogen inhalation and capillaries?
Proper high-concentration oxygen or hydrogen inhalation may help reduce oxidative stress in blood vessels and support the maintenance of healthy capillaries. Using the capilleroscope, you can visualize the condition of capillaries before and after such treatments.
Health & Lifestyle Diseases
Can capillary condition indicate the risk of lifestyle-related diseases?
Yes. A high number of capillaries with poor blood flow may signal elevated risk of conditions such as metabolic syndrome. This microscope enables users to check blood flow status and support proactive health management.
What happens when blood flow is poor?
Poor circulation reduces the supply of oxygen and nutrients, which may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, cold sensitivity, and accelerated skin aging. Long-term, it may increase the risk of lifestyle-related diseases.
Can this scope be used to confirm the effects of blood flow improvement efforts?
Yes. You can use the capillaroscope to document and compare capillary changes before and after interventions such as exercise, diet, or treatments―making progress visually evident.
For Pharmacies, Clinics & Institutions
Is this scope used in pharmacies or clinics?
Yes. Many pharmacies, clinics, and beauty facilities use the capillary scope to visualize health conditions and treatment effects in a compelling and informative way.
What industries have adopted this capillary scope?
It is widely used across the medical, health, and beauty industries.
- Medical: Internal medicine, plastic surgery, dermatology, orthopedics
- Health: Acupuncture clinics, fitness gyms, health food manufacturers
- Beauty: Aesthetic salons, cosmetic clinics, cosmetics companies
Can I see examples of real-world implementations?
Yes. Please visit the "Case Studies" page on our website to learn more about how the GOKO capillary scope is being used in various industries.
Usage & Options
Which finger is best for observing capillaries?
The ring finger on your non-dominant hand is generally best. Its thin skin makes capillaries easier to visualize clearly.
My fingers tend to shake―will the image be stable?
Yes. The included Stand Unit and Anti-vibration Cap gently stabilize the finger, dramatically reducing image blur during observation.
Can I observe skin pigmentation and texture?
Yes. By using the included Focus Cap without applying oil or gel, you can clearly observe pigmentation, such as dark spots, and fine skin texture.
