Spun glass hair: two cases investigated with SEM and TEM.
Two cases of spun glass hair have been investigated with SEM and TEM. The SEM studies confirm previous findings by other authors. The TEM investigations reveal a completely normal cross section appearance. These findings stress the need for investigation of the time sequence of the keratinization process of the different layers of the inner root sheath.
