Abstract
Individual non-damaged horny cells can be removed from the human stratum corneum by a modification of the corneocyte count technique. Nine sites from four men were sampled and 50 cells from each specimen measured with a filar micrometer eyepiece. The longest and shortest diameters in micra and the surface area, calculated as an ellipse in square micra, were determined. Individual horny cells are much larger than previously described in the literature. Small cells, 34 μ to 36 μ in diameter were found on forehead and hand, larger cells, 41 μ to 44μ are typical for thigh axilla. Highly significant statistical differences for multiple sites of the human body were found when t-tests and the analysis of variance were applied. The regional differences in cell sizes are discussed.
