Histologists use various techniques to study cornification:
Light Microscopy: Staining techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) are used to observe the different layers of the epidermis. Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of the ultrastructure of keratinocytes and corneocytes. Immunohistochemistry: Utilizes antibodies to detect specific proteins involved in the cornification process.
