Fig. 2.

Left: The x, y, z orientation in the thick skin model (left), with a “fingerprint pattern” Stratum Corneum (SC), and the living layers of the Epidermis. The Dermis is rendered invisible. Centre: (A-D) Layers of the SC (each 0.05 mm in thickness, A-D), (E) represents the Stratum Granulosum and Stratum Lucidum (0.05 mm), (F) Stratum Spinosum (SS, 0.1 mm), and (G) Stratum Basale (SB, 0.05 mm). The dielectric properties of each layer can be individually altered to simulate varied states of hydration. Right: The model showing the thick Dermis (2.0 mm) to prevent interference from lateral excitation leakage.
