A confocal fluorescence micrograph of a Meissner corpuscle in the fingertip skin of a control subject. Green immunohistochemical staining for PGP identifies the nerves and red staining for Collagen type IV outlines the corpuscle and the basement membrane; the background is stained blue for keratinocytes. The density of innervation of the Meissner corpuscles can be followed during compressive median neuropathy and during reinnervation after surgery. See Provitera et al., pp. 456–465.
