MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The stratum lucidum is a smooth, seemingly translucent layer of the epidermis located just above the stratum granulosum and below the stratum corneum. This thin layer of cells is found only in the thick skin of the palms, soles, and digits.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stratum granulosum (or granular layer) is a thin layer of cells in the epidermis lying above the stratum spinosum and below the stratum corneum (stratum lucidum on the soles and palms). Keratinocytes migrating from the underlying stratum spinosum become known as granular cells in this layer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stratum lucidum is a thin, transparent layer of keratinocytes that are becoming less round and have a flatter shape. The top layer of the epidermis. This is the layer of the epidermis that you see. In the stratum corneum, keratinocytes become corneocytes (corn-ee-o-site).
