The study describes a rather simple, computer-assisted method for the determination of different mammalian species or groups with the aid of the cuticula pattern of guard hairs (primary hairs) following SEM presentation. The method is based on an image analysis program developed for metallographic investigations, and includes the evaluation of five parameters (scale area, scale perimeter, number of scales per mm2, ratio of scale width and height, scale index). The scale index as a combination of scale numbers per square unit and the width/height ratio proved to be most useful for a relevant species or group identification of mammals according to the hair cuticula pattern.
该研究描述了一种相当简单的计算机辅助方法，用于在扫描电子显微镜呈现后，借助保卫毛（初级毛）的角质层模式来确定不同的哺乳动物物种或类群。该方法基于一个为金相研究开发的图像分析程序，包括对五个参数（鳞片面积、鳞片周长、每平方毫米鳞片数量、鳞片宽度与高度之比、鳞片指数）的评估。鳞片指数作为每平方单位鳞片数量与宽度/高度比的组合，被证明对于根据毛发角质层模式对哺乳动物进行相关物种或类群鉴定最为有用。
