Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to determine the histological features of the inner surface structure of the nail plates' free edge in children aged 0 to 1 year and from 1 to 17 years for forensic practice. The results of a histological human nail plates' examination by the method of staining with hematoxylin and eosin and microscopy in transmitted light using a biological microscope XSZ-147E at magnification from 54 to 400 were presented. From 0 to 1 year old and from 1 year to 17 years old age differences appear, which can be used in forensic medical practice as an identification feature.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
