    9.7   Thin skin Version française
Section of thin skin stained with TPA.

In this section the nuclei of keratinocytes are pale but the cytoplasms are lightly stained green owing to the presence of keratin filaments. The brown staining of the cytoplasm of keratinocytes is due to melanin granules (arrows).

The desquamating flat cell residues (arrowheads) of the cornified layer are well stained with TPA.

The subjacent connective tissue is stained light yellow.

Stain: TPA
Magnification: ×900
