Thin skin

Skin can be classified as either thick or thin, depending on the thickness of the epidermal layer.  A diagrammatic representation of thin skin and a photomicrograph of a H&E stained section illustrate the reduced thickness of the epidermal strata in thin skin and the absence of stratum lucidum as a distinct layer.  400x
