In forensics labs, where details on the order of microns matter most, scientists turn to microspectroscopy for answers. The technique works to identify paints, inks, dyes, biomaterials in cloth, fibers and more. Microscopy can examine paper to provide evidence of fraud, scrutinize suspect documents, or link trace evidence from various sources.
In this Forensic Analysis with Microspectroscopy Compendium you can read about real-world applications, gaining exposure to a cross-section of FTIR and Raman microscopy uses in busy forensic laboratories. Forensic analysis examples include:
- Finding the provenance of paint chips with microspectroscopic evidence
- Proving a document was altered through an analysis of inks on paper
- Characterizing single fibers from a crime scene, using micro-ATR
- Analyzing historical artwork by Tintoretto from Venice, Italy
