Examination of the Hair Cuticle by Differential Interference Microscopy [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1970 Species identification of mammalian hairs most often includes a morphological examination of the hair cuticle for classification of the scale pattern. Several techniques have been used for this purpose including microscopy of cuticula impressions in gelatine or cellulose-acetate (Loske 1964) and direct microscopy of hairs by use of incident ...

Structural Changes in Cuticles on Violin Bow Hair Caused by Wear [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2010 A bow with horse tail hair is used to play the violin. New and worn-out bow hairs were observed by atomic force microscopy. The cuticles of the new bow hair were already damaged by bleach and delipidation, however the worn-out bow hairs were much more damaged and broken off by force, which relates to wearing out.

Cricket antennae shorten when bending (Acheta domesticus L.). [PDF]
, 2014 Insect antennae are important mechanosensory and chemosensory organs. Insect appendages, such as antennae, are encased in a cuticular exoskeleton and are thought to bend only between segments or subsegments where the cuticle is thinner, more flexible, or

Nectar and oleiferous trichomes as floral attractants in Bulbophyllum saltatorium Lindl. (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
, 2017 Although many Orchidaceae have deceit flowers that produce no reward, the most common reward, when present, is nectar. Bulbophyllum, however, is unusual in that the labellar secretions of most species investigated to date lack sugars, and, therefore ...

Cuticle cell defects in lamellar ichthyosis hair and anomalous hair shaft syndromes visualized after detergent extraction [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 1996 The biochemical bases for fragility in most of the rare brittle hair shaft syndromes are unknown. The hypothesis being investigated in several syndromes is that the hair cuticle cells show defects in cross-linked protein features. Since transglutaminases stabilize protein structures by cross-linking them, hair from autosomal recessive lamellar ...
