Mycological diagnosis of onychomycosis is based on direct microscopy using external fluorophores to visualize fungal tissue in nail samples and agar culture. Ultraviolet fluorescence excitation imaging (u‐FEI) has shown potential in monitoring biological processes by exploiting variations in autofluorescence. This study aimed at assessing the potential of a handheld u‐FEI system as a practical screening tool for fungal nail infections.
