[Histonet] Keratin structure of the fingernail

[Linda Jenkins]

Dear colleagues,
         Could someone direct me to an atlas containing a microscopic 
picture of a fingernail?  I have just completed doing the Ayoub-Sklar and 
Fraser-Lendrum stains on numerous sections of Nair softened 
nails.  Interesting stains...BUT...I have no idea what the nail should like 
and am interested in the keratin structure of the nail.  Internet searches 
led me to an overabundance of cosmetology sites!
         Thanks!
         Linda
