[On fingertips of "washerwoman's hands" (author's transl)]. 1978

W Weber

An investigation method is proposed to find out quantitatively the beginning and the degree of "washerwoman's hands" at the fingertips. To answer the question, for how long there was contact with a fluid medium, systematic investigations are necessary to measure the width of the "cristae papillares" of several test persons with an onlight-photomicroscope under similar fluid conditions.
