A bow with horse tail hair is used to play the violin. New and worn-out bow hairs were observed by atomic force microscopy. The cuticles of the new bow hair were already damaged by bleach and delipidation, however the worn-out bow hairs were much more damaged and broken off by force, which relates to wearing out.
用马尾毛制成的琴弓来演奏小提琴。通过原子力显微镜观察新的和磨损的琴弓毛。新琴弓毛的角质层已经因漂白和脱脂而受损，然而磨损的琴弓毛受损更严重且因受力而折断，这与磨损有关。
