The purpose of this study is to present a rapid, simple, and accurate method for quantitation of SSL in man. The technique which is derived from the works by Schaefer and Kuhn-Bussius, employs a series of clearn ground glass plates, and an apparatus, the Lipometre, for the determination of the variation of light transmission across the plates as a function of the fat deposited on them. Results on 32 adults, males and females, show that the first four iterative samplings, at constant pressure, on the same forehead area follow an identical physical law independently of whether the skin is fatty or dry. This law affords a precise definition of the Casual-Level, its quantification and its correlation with skin patterns. It is consequently possible, either as an investigative or a routine technique, to predict the total amount of SSL with good accuracy within 2 min. The SSL, for non-pathological skins, fall within the range 150 microgram/cm2 to 900 microgram/cm2 which is in good agreement with values quoted in the literature.
