Helmut A. Heine, our company's founder, had a clear vision when he established HEINE Optotechnik in 1946: to build the highest quality diagnostic instruments available in the world. He was convinced, the only way to achieve the most reliable diagnosis at the earliest possible stage, was by using the very best quality diagnostic instruments. To this day, our customers can rely on this commitment of quality and precise diagnostic performance in all HEINE products. Our customers can also trust the unique functionality and long-lasting durability of their HEINE instruments. Many of the thousands of medical primary diagnostic instruments we have sold are still working as well today as they were on day one, often even being passed down from one generation to the next. Because we make them with high-quality materials. With precision and perfection. And a healthy helping of IQ and love of craftsmanship. So the durability of our HEINE instruments is now legendary – worldwide. Having invented the first dermatoscope in 1989, HEINE is still the world leader in the manufacturing of dermatoscopes.
