EM 260 Thin Skin

Thin Skin

Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of skin. Skin consists o a superficial epithelial component (epidermis), and underlying connective tissue components (dermis and hypodermis).

  • - stratified squamous keratinized epithelium (yellow)
    • The individual layers of the epithelium cannot be distinguished
  • - underlying layer of connective tissue that can be divided into two layers with an indistinct boundary
    • (purple) - outer layer that supports the epidermis
    • (blue) - inner layer that is less organized and contains coarser collagen bundles
