The tissue samples were visualized using a Leica microscope (Leica Microsystems‚ Wetzlar‚ Germany)‚ and the Leica image manager software to enhance and photograph the sections. All sections were photographed and epidermal thickness was measured 50 places per section and the average epidermal thickness was calculated pr section (Fig. S5). The measurements were made on sections photographed at 10X enhancement. All sections were blinded to the observer during measurements. Strengths: Good method
