Back of female subject. Age 59 yrs. The mottling of the skin results from scores to hundreds of previous open sores over a period of several years. Back of female subject. Age 59 yrs. The mottling of the skin results from scores to hundreds of previous open sores over a period of several years.

One fiber sample at a magnifcation of 750x. Notice the internal structure of the fiber. Width of this fiber sample is approx. 40 microns. (Human hair is approx. 60-100 microns and of smooth structure). One fiber sample at a magnifcation of 750x. Notice the internal structure of the fiber. Width of this fiber sample is approx. 40 microns. (Human hair is approx. 60-100 microns and of smooth structure).
Magnification is now at approx. 2500x. The single fiber is composed of innummerable sub-fibers (circular enclosure). Magnification is now at approx. 2500x. The single fiber is composed of innummerable sub-fibers (circular enclosure).
A second potentially important discovery takes place under adequate magnifcation (2500x). This is the repeated occurrence of an entity (circular enclosure) A second potentially important discovery takes place under adequate magnifcation (2500x). This is the repeated occurrence of an entity (circular enclosure)
A third discovery, the existence of a A third discovery, the existence of a "budding" structure. All appearances are that this is a growth, extension or regeneration mechanism.
The internal sub-micron fiber network is apparent within this photograph at a magnification of 2500x. (Circular enclosure) The internal sub-micron fiber network is apparent within this photograph at a magnification of 2500x. (Circular enclosure)
Another Another "budding" structure identified. Several of these are usually found on any one fiber. Only visible under adequate magnification (2500x).
Abudding structure of high geometric form. Abudding structure of high geometric form.
