About the category: Wood's Lamps

A Wood's lamp is a portable quartz lamp that emits long-wave ultraviolet radiation through a special black filter (a Wood's filter made of barium silicate with 9% nickel oxide, which passes 320 to 400 nm with a peak at 365 nm). It is used in dermatology for quick diagnosis of fungal infections, as fungal lesions fluoresce strongly in its light in the shade. It is used, among others, to diagnose Microsporum, which causes fungal infections of hairless skin. The UV rays make the skin fluoresce, and the diagnosis is made from the colour of the fluorescent light. The examination takes place in a darkened room because the light is weak. Depending on the skin type and condition, the glow has different colours: normal skin - blue-violet, dry, dehydrated skin - weak fluorescence, skin with the right amount of water - dark blue, oily skin - almost black, excessive keratosis - white.
