How is the Cuticle of the Inner Root Sheath Studied in Histology?
In histological studies, the cuticle of the inner root sheath can be observed using light microscopy and electron microscopy. Histological sections of hair follicles are typically stained with specific dyes to highlight the different layers of the inner root sheath. Electron microscopy provides a more detailed view of the ultrastructure of the cuticle cells, revealing their organization and keratin content.
