Abstract
Three-dimensional melanin granules of mummy's hair analyzed using high voltage electron microscopy at 1250kV. The melanin granules in the cortex of mummy's hair located in close proximity to the outer of cortex in the adjacent place of the cuticles. A lot of melanin granule performed in this area. It is a distinguished difference from modern human. While it rotated up to 60 degree counter-clockwise and taken a photo per one degree using high voltage electron microscopy. The melanin granule displayed with long elliptical and variable at the size. The size of granule is measured from $0.3{\sim}0.6{\mu}m$ in minimum diameter and $0.5{\sim}1{\mu}m$ in maximum diameter. Conclusionally, high voltage electron microscope has higher resolution and penetration power than conventional transmission electron microscope that could be load biological thick specimen.
