    Default HST-Density in The Recipient Area...

    I took the photo below 1 week after my 1st HST procedure with my cheap DinoLite handheld video-microscope. The photo shows a small area of the forelock area, anywhere behind the hairline, and as you can see in this pic, there are around 12 implanted HST grafts in this photo:


    The BIG question:
    How big (size) is this area in the photo?
    1cm² ? 1.5cm²? Bigger? Smaller?

    If you find the correct answer - Dr. Gho will implant you 1 HST graft for free ...

    my guess is around .5cm2,

    .5 x.5cm


    Can USB microscope tell you how big is the area of pic taken ?

    Nope - too far away from the correct answer.

    Unfortunately - no, not my cheap microscope. But as long as the device (microscope) touches the skin/object (without any distance between), it's pretty easy to find this out/to know this (size).

    I made with a pencil a small square on a sheet of paper and simply put the USB microscope onto this paper (the paper, of course, lies on a table, so there is no distance between the paper and the USB microscope)...

    Nope. The answer is wrong, and these "short lines" on the top edge - shouldn't influence you (he he). Indeed, they tell something, but not what you think...

    Now I wait for answers from 2-3 other users, and then I will present the correct size - with pics. You will be surprised...

    you drew some lines on top which looked like ruler to me so i said 1 cm2..very sneaky

    lines are representing no of grafts?

    ok, since Gho gives around 35 per cm2 in one pass and you showed 12 graft pic i have to say the area is third of that , very small square,about 0.3 mm by 0.3 mm

    Nope - but almost correct ...


    The estimated area (pic in my previous post) is just around 0.3 cm²!

    And there is still a problem involved (why just estimated):
    When I want to get a real sharp photo - the USB microscope doesn't allow me not even to breath (no trembling/shaking!). So I must always press the USB micro a little bit to the skin and thereby shrinks the distance to the lense somewhat, because the head's surface is not flat and hard as the table (pic below), and the skin bends somewhat into the USB microscope, what makes the area, in fact, even smaller...so you can calculate around 35-40 grafts per complete square centimeter (cm&#178.
