Non-scarring alopecia (AA). (A) Clinical image of temporal scalp area affected by AA. (B-F) MPM images acquired at different depths showing a miniaturized hair follicle surrounding a hair shaft (red arrow in B-F). Epidermal cells (green) in the stratum granulosum (B) and stratum spinosum (C) surround the hair shaft and the follicular ostia. No sebaceous glands were imaged down to a depth of 125 μm. Collagen (blue) and elastin fibers (green) outline the hair follicle (D-F). A blood vessel is visible next to the hair follicle (white arrow in E-F). Scale bar is 20 μm. (G) A 3D view of MPM images in a z-stack from which the (B-F) images were selected.
