5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Human hair form. Morphology revealed by light and scanning electron microscopy and computer aided three-dimensional reconstruction.
In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.
research Performance scanning electron microscopic investigations and elemental analysis of hair of the different animal species for forensic identification
This study reports that different animal species exhibit distinct hair scale patterns and elemental compositions, which can aid forensic investigations in identifying animal hair.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
This study found that postmortem root banding in hair is likely due to the degradation of the intermacrofibrillar matrix in the cortex, with no damage to the cuticle observed.
research Elucidating penetration pathways into the hair fiber using novel microscopic techniques.
This research suggests that both proposed pathways into hair fibers for molecule penetration are valid and complementary, with all fiber structures acting as potential routes for delivering materials.

5 / 160 resultscommunity First microscopic results after 5 weeks
The user shared progress pictures after 5 weeks of using 5% topical minoxidil, scalp massages, and microneedling for hair loss. They are considering adding finasteride but have decided to wait a few more weeks.
community Bought a digital microscope and found some trichoscopic anomalies
A user noticed irregularities on their scalp using a digital microscope and suspects scarring alopecia, despite using minoxidil and finasteride. Other users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a possible cause and recommend treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, sulfur soap, selenium sulfide shampoo, and apple cider vinegar rinses.
community Vellus terminal microscope study
The conversation discusses hair regrowth progress using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It highlights the transformation of vellus hairs into terminal hairs in a Norwood 6 frontal area.
community Highly recommend buying a microscope (see pictures)
A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.
community Finasteride: 1 month microscope update. Before vs After
The user observed some regrowth and longer baby hairs after one month of using finasteride, despite experiencing increased shedding. They noted no side effects except for clear semen.
