KN 9000B - Wood’s Lamp

What is the Wood’s Lamp?

The Wood’s Lamp is a diagnostic tool commonly used in dermatology for the initial screening of various skin conditions. It emits ultraviolet (UVA) light that causes certain skin infections and disorders to fluoresce, making them easier to detect. Under this lamp, normal skin does not glow, while affected areas may appear distinctly under the light— helping professionals make early and accurate assessments.
