Abstract

Some trends in electron microscopy of skin have emerged and should be pursued in the future. The fine structure and some basic cellular reaction patterns of epidermal cells are discussed to illustrate the interplay of morphologic, cytochemical, and tracer studies. Intracytoplasmic membranes and secretory granules, lysosomes and endocytic mechanisms, cytomembranes and cell surface specialization are discussed to show how these can be used to arrive at a more meaningful interpretation of structure. Despite all advances, however, a great deal more needs to be done before the details of skin structure are completely elucidated.
