The thickness of the epidermis
Abstract
Epidermal thickness has been accurately measured on 214 samples of skin from 188 volunteers. Variations with the individual, body site, sex and age are described and discussed. An original technique of measurement has been developed which has several advantages over conventional methods. In particular, quick straight‐forward measurements are possible on volunteer skin rather than post mortem material, and the method eliminates errors arising from the skin's elasticity. These improvements in accuracy have confirmed that much information in the literature on epidermal thickness, is misleading as the results are based on inaccurate techniques of measurement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
