Proton and Electron Microprobe Analysis of Human Skin

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proton microprobe in the analysis of dermatological material when a spatial resolution of a few micrometres is sufficient and to compare it with the electron microprobe technique, duplicate sections of human skin have been analysed with both methods.

A skin sample was obtained from each of three healthy volunteers. After cryosectioning (12 μm) and freeze-drying adjacent sections of each sample were scanned by the electron microprobe and the proton microprobe, respectively.
