[Further investigational results with the dermatometer according to bingmer (author's transl)]

Further results of investigations using the dermatometer according to Bingmer for the determination of the actual moisture content of superficial skin layers are presented. The investigations are divided into in-vitro tests, tests on excised skin and tests on humans. Results indicate that the Bingmer apparatus used in these trials shows considerable specific sensitivity to changes in the moisture content of the media examined. Different results obtained by other workers might be due to the use of Bingmer apparatus with a different carrier frequency. The advantage of apparatus based on 9 Kc carrier frequency is stressed. As a whole, the use of the Bingmer apparatus may be considered a step forward in dermatological and cosmetic examination techniques.
