METHOD OF SUPPORTING THE DIFFERENTIATION OF HORNY LAYER CELLS

摘要

It is intended to provide a method of indicating an unstained image of horny layer cell or the like in an observable pseudocolor in the case of preparing a horny layer cell preparation, which is capable of providing information useful in differentiating horny layer cells or appropriately selecting a cosmetic, without resorting to staining the horny layer cell preparation. The state of skin horny layer cells is input into a computer as an enlarged image by using, for example, a digital microcsope. Then, the RGB values of the individual pixels in the image are converted with the use of a conversion system such as a conversion formula or a conversion chart and an image is indicated in a pseudocolor by using the individual RGB values thus converted.
