Stratum corneum
A dry outer barrier supporting defined microbial communities. The connected lattice represents surface continuity; its interaction effects are illustrative, not measured tissue responses.
Labskin
Barrier surface. Living epidermis. Dermal support.

The keratinocyte-containing layer appears as a translucent, continuous veil beneath the stratum corneum. Facets suggest tissue organisation, not individual cells.
A deeper fibroblast-containing layer with extracellular matrix, expressed as an open triangular field. The network suggests connective support without depicting individual cells or collagen fibres.
