Description
Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of strong scaling of the skin caused by psoriasis. The skin is also infected with yeast. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system responds to certain skin cells as foreign pathogens, and stimulates the growth cycle to increase the number of skin cells in the region. This results in plaques of inflamed, white, scaly skin, often on the knees, elbows and scalp. It is a chronic disease for which there is no known cure. Magnification is 9001, or 600x at 10 cm wide.
