Proton and Electron Microprobe Analysis of Human Skin

Malmqvist, Klas LU ; Carlsson, Lars-Eric ; Forslind, Bo ; Roomans, Godfried M and Akselsson, Roland LU (1984) In Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms 3(1-3). p.611-617
Abstract
In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proton microprobe in the analysis of dermatological material when a spatial resolution of a few micrometres is sufficient and to compare it with the electron microprobe technique, duplicate sections of human skin have been analysed with both methods.

A skin sample was obtained from each of three healthy volunteers. After cryosectioning (12 μm) and freeze-drying adjacent sections of each sample were scanned by the electron microprobe and the proton microprobe, respectively.
