Germicidal lamps are a type of ultraviolet (UV) light that emit UV-C rays, which are effective in killing or inactivating microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These lamps are frequently utilized in various fields, including medical laboratories, water purification, and air disinfection. In the context of histology, germicidal lamps play a crucial role in maintaining a sterile environment, ensuring the integrity of samples and the accuracy of experimental results.
