Fungi and yeast can be distinguished as dark blue hyphae and blastospores in the HE‐stained sections (see the following figure). Two complete sections per three‐dimensional skin model were evaluated according to the following parameters (refer to the first table below) and results can be gathered from the second table below. On the following pages, representative pictures for each section of the skin models and independent experiments are given. Dark blue stained hyphae and blastospores in the HE‐stained section are indicated by black arrows. HE, hematoxylin and eosin
