Abstract
Cryo SEM, particularly offering the advantages of dispensation of chemical fixation, dehydration and solvents during processing, highlighted delicate structures without shrinkage and without loss of soluble sample components. Thus rather real spatial conditions in the region of the epidermo-dermal junction and the upper dermis were visualized, whereby very regular arrangements of the structures present became obvious. This pertained also to a correct demonstration of all components of the epidermal basement membrane, in particular the lamina lucida. In addition, the water-based stable character of the entire stratum superficiale dermidis could be emphasized as a basic feature for controlled diffusion processes.
