Papers are invited on the development and validation of methods and their application in the characterization of diseased abnormal and normal skin. The topics include blood flow colorimetry thermography evaporimetry epidermal humidity desquamation profilometry skin mechanics epiluminiscence microscopy high-frequency ultrasonography confocal microscopy digital imaging image analysis and computerized evaluation and magnetic resonance. Noninvasive biochemical methods (such as lipids keratin and tissue water) and the instrumental evaluation of cytological and histological samples are also covered. The journal has a wide scope and aims to link scientists clinical researchers and technicians through original articles communications editorials and commentaries letters reviews announcements and news.
