Ringworm Uv Pictures Can Any UV Black Light Be Used To Fluoresce Ringworm?

The type of lamp that a veterinarian named Wood used lamp. Not exactly the same as a regular light. The Wood lamp fluorescent moth, only about 50% of the time, so it is useful as a screening tool. When fluorescent can be sure it is ringworm, but if one is a 50:50-a chance still exists ringworm. There are other things that fluoresce under a black light of any kind, such as urine, so you need to know exactly the color you want.
amended to add - this is the wavelength of light they emit. Woods lamp used as a veterinary surgeon or dermatologist, is cheap in the $ 300 and wider, but a black light can be purchased.
You should call your vet and ask. Not sure, but I do not think it matters. Good luck.
