Figure 5

Resorcin-fuchsin staining of native and acellular human scalp samples to visualize elastic fibers. Epidermis (e), dermis (d) and subcutis (s) can be depicted in the native scalp sample. After cell removal, only the dermis (d) and subcutis (s) remained. The elastic fibers (black arrows) are clearly visible in both the native and acellular scalp samples. Cell removal appears to improve the visibility of elastic fiber’s course and structure. Scale bar: corresponds to 50 μm on the right side and 400 μm on the left side.
