Description
Through continuous research and development of modern instrumentation, it is now possible to visualize minute structures of the skin surface not visible to the human eye. Bioengineering of the Skin: Skin Surface Imaging and Analysis, written by an internationally based group of scientists, addresses engineering techniques for visualizing and analyzing skin surface images and profiles. This skin bioengineering reference offers comprehensive information about the technology of instruments in this field and the art of applying them in experimental studies. It explains what the instruments measure and why and when they should be used in skin research and product testing.
