Woods Lights

The Woods light, an innovative ultraviolet lamp, was developed in 1903 by American physicist Robert W. Wood, who specialized in optics and ultraviolet radiation. By the 1920s, this remarkable technology found applications in dermatology, particularly for detecting fungal infections in hair. Today, Woods lights are utilized across various medical and research fields, playing a crucial role in identifying skin infections, assessing changes in skin pigmentation, and examining scratches on the cornea.

Woods lights are often equipped with magnifiers, allowing for a more detailed examination of affected areas, which enhances diagnostic accuracy. This versatility makes them an essential tool for dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and researchers alike.
