| Abstract | ||
| Over the past few decades, light microscopy has become an important and widely used tool in forensic science research. It is a fast and accessible method, and is non-destructive, which is useful when dealing with precious and irreplaceable samples. Often used in forensic laboratories, specialists use this technique as a first-line analysis for research and investigation, prior to subsequent techniques. In forensic research, other specialized forms of microscopy such as comparison microscopy and polarized light microscopy are also utilized. The forensic science research team at the Abertay University in Scotland has used Olympus opto-digital light microscopes to expedite a number of research projects. Opto-digital technology integrates the latest in digital and optical technologies and allows fast and comprehensive analysis and measurement in materials science applications. The Olympus DSX range covers measurement, investigation, and reporting, and allows intuitive operation. This means in-depth microscopy knowledge is no longer required for precise inspection. | ||
