Hairs, which are composed primarily of the protein keratin, can be defined as slender outgrowths of the skin of mammals. Each species of animal possesses hair with characteristic length, color, shape, root appearance, and internal microscopic features that distinguish one animal from another.
Techniques to ID Hair/Fiber
When we observed hair and fiber we put the hair and fiber on a glass plate and put it under a microscope and observed different types of human and animal hair.
Pictures and Analysis
During this lab we were given different hair samples such as asian hair, african american hair, dog hair, cat hair, etc. and we analyzed what each sample looked like under the microscope.
During this lab we were given different fiber samples to observe under the microscope. After looking at them under the microscope we would then make a prediction as to what we thought it looked like.
