From: Significant difference between three observers in the assessment of intraepidermal nerve fiber density in skin biopsy

Figure 4

Skin biopsy immunostained for PGP 9.5, which were evaluated in this study. Number of IENF stated by the observers (MF, ISH and SW) of this study: 0–2 fibers. The different results were probably caused by difficulties to determine the correct position of the fiber: (e.g.: the fiber approaches the basement membrane but do not cross it → 0 fibers, the fiber branches after crossing the basement membrane → 1 fiber, the fiber branches within the basement membrane → 2 fibers.
