Figure 2

Comparison of 3D melanin density for skin types with different levels of heterogeneity. (a, c) z-projection of the MVF values from the dorsal forearm of representative subjects with skin types I and V, respectively. (b, d) 2D melanin density as a function of epidermal depth from the basal layer (0) to stratum granulosum (1) for skin types I and V, respectively. The position across the y-axis is normalized against the epidermal thickness. The plots in (b) and (d) correspond to the ROIs of 0.25 × 0.25 mm2 marked in (a) and (c) with the same color and number.
