Tiny Residue, Big Clues: Forensic Science with Automated SEM Analysis

Originally Aired:

Date: July 6, 2023

Abstract:

The importance of forensic science in investigative and legal procedures demands that potential evidence is properly analyzed. With a wide range of physical evidence to analyze, including paint, fibers, and gunshot residue (GSR), forensic scientists face the challenge of investigating hundreds of thousands of criminal cases every year. In this webinar, we will explore how scanning electron microscopy (SEM) can provide vital solutions for forensic scientists; specifically, how automated SEM with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revolutionizes GSR particle analysis.
