Skin Deep

2026 | Blender | Personal study

3D model study of a Demodex canis infestation within canine cutaneous tissue and adnexal structures.

The digital reconstruction captures the precise microscopic morphology of the mites, highlighting their characteristic elongated, cigar-shaped abdomen and eight short legs clustered anteriorly. 

The visualization depicts parasites scattered across the skin surface, clustered along the hair shaft, deeply embedded within hair follicles, and infiltrating sebaceous glands. Mild, localized erythema (redness) is visible on the surrounding skin surface, reflecting the structural disruption and secondary inflammation associated with canine demodicosis.
