MORPHOLOGY OF HORNY CELLS OF SUPERFICIAL STRATUM CORNEUM - CELL MEMBRANES AND MELANIN GRANULES

[摘要] The stratum corneum was stripped with plastic tape and the cells were stained. The morphology of the stratum corneum was observed to consist of adherent cells forming continuous sheets of tissue. Strains for melanin showed that this pigment was present in the horny cells of all of the normal skin examined.
