Technical method for the examination of hair in cross sections. With this method, changes in the hair shaft (e.g. Pili canaliculi) can be examined microscopically easily. A shrink tube completely encloses the hair to be examined, contracts under the influence of heat and can then be examined under the microscope like a normal histological preparation.
