Abstract
We report a new opto-thermal method of measuring epidermal thickness in-vivo, using thermal waves generated within the epidermis which reach the surface after transit delays that depend on depth. The method is illustrated with a thickness map of a forearm, a tape stripping sequence and subsequent wound healing.
