Light micrograph of human glabrous skin. From top, the epidermis, a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium showing a prominent horny layer, the dermis and hypodermis. The hypodermis is identified by the presence of adipose (fat) tissue lobules. Eccrine sweat glands can be seen at the border between dermis and hypodermis. Haematoxylin and eosin stain.
