  1. Microscopic Characteristics of Common Fibers

  2. Natural fiber, will vary under magnification • Twist characteristic of cotton only Cotton

  3. Thin, delicate fiber • Crossover indentations Silk

  4. Thickness varies depending on species of animal wool taken from • Same microscopic structure as hair • medulla – channel running down center • cuticle – outer layer • cortex – inner layer Wool

  5. Synthetic fiber, little variation under magnification • Appearance will vary by manufacturer • Created to imitate silk macroscopically Nylon

  6. Synthetic fiber, little variation under magnification • Appearance will vary by manufacturer • Created to imitate cotton macroscopically Polyester
