Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fine structure of horny cells of the normal human epidermis has been studied with the electron microscope by many investigators (1-6). It was found that normal horny cells are mainly filled with filaments and an amorphous cement that are fused into a homogeneous material in many parts of the cells. Nuclear remnants are usually not present; mitochondrial remnants and pigment granules occur in small quantities. Normal horny cells appear flattened, interdigitate at several points and are tightly attached by numerous desmosomal contacts.
