Adult Thin Skin Histology - Epidermis
This image focusses on the epidermis (epithelial) layer of the thin skin.
- The most superficial part of the epidermis is formed by the stratum corneum.
- Nuclei are not visible in this layer.
- Cell outlines may be visible at high magnification or, in the form of artefacts, as cracks or clefts in the stratum corneum.
- The stratum granulosum is formed by a single layer of very dark and flattened cells in thin skin.
- Several layers of cells containing keratohyalin granules are visible in thick skin.
- Polyhedral cells with clear outlines form the stratum spinosum.
- The stratum basale is formed by a single layer of cuboidal or columnar cells and delimits the epidermis from the dermis.
