Group classification is also precise enough in microscopical diagnosis of onychomycoses in KOH preparations with Parker ink (Parker Super Quink, blue-black, permanent). Detailed findings as well as distinguishing features in onychomycoses caused by yeasts, Scopulariopsis and dermatophytes are presented, accompanied by photographs.
