Wood's Lamp Test - of the Scalp
A Wood's lamp is a light that uses long wave ultraviolet light. When an area of scalp that is infected with tinea (a type of ringworm fungus) is viewed under a Wood's light, the fungus glows (fluoresces). This test may be done to detect the presence of a fungal scalp or skin infection.
