Background:

  • Skin barrier function is linked to epidermal cell physiology.
  • Quantitative elemental distribution in skin is understudied due to technological limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the quantitative distribution of essential elements and trace elements in skin.
  • To explore the application of particle probe techniques in skin research.
  • To demonstrate the penetration profiles of allergenic metals in the skin.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized electron microprobe and scanning proton microprobe (SPM) for elemental analysis.
  • Employed trace element-sensitive proton probes to study metal penetration.

Main Results:
