title: [A study of skin deformation by optical coherent microscopy].
abstract: The deformation of rat skin in response to cooling and stimulation of nerve fibers innervating the muscles piloerectors and vasoconstrictors has been studied by optical coherent microscopy. It has been found that the deformation of the skin on cooling occurs due to the contraction of bundles of collagen fibers rather than smooth muscles of vessels and piloerectors.
