fluorescent staining technique. The inception of this orderly pattern was evident within 2-3
subcorneal cell layers. Germinative cells can be identified on the basis of their comparatively
low dye uptake. The conspicuous staining of the cell membranes in the horny layer probably
reflects the marginal band, which can otherwise only be seen in the electron microscope.
