B. Schulz is the first-listed author of a 2002 experimental study of human nail samples using ellipsometry. The paper gives an affiliation in applied physics and microstructure research at the University of Hamburg; its indexed byline retains the initials rather than a verified full given name.[ref]
Hydration dynamics of human fingernails: An ellipsometric study by B. Schulz and others. PubMed author record, affiliation and abstract, PMID 12188765
The experiment followed changes in the complex refractive index during hydration and dehydration. Its authors interpreted the response using faster and slower water-associated processes in keratin. That connects an optical measurement to the changing physical condition of a biological material, rather than treating nail thickness or optical properties as fixed constants.[ref]
