This video introduces a new technology, Brain Fingerprinting, that has been developed by Lawrence Farwell. The computer software collects moments for visual interactions from the criminal's mind. When a person takes any information from the world, the brain produces an electrical charge called "P300 murmur". Farwell discovered a way to read the "P300 murmur". The more "P300 murmurs" that exists the more helpful it could be for the brain the acknowledge the pictures. They have been able to use brain fingerprinting on a severe case with a serial killer. Farwell was able to retrieve the serial killer's memory by using the software, after the serial killer denied the crime. Farwell was able to put the serial killer in jail and serving a life sentence. Brain fingerprinting can also catch terrorist. The software can also determine the type of power does the suspect have in the terrorist group, and what training has he gotten.

New technology and tools are being discovered has time goes by and each one is helping improve the accuracy. By introducing these new technology crimes are being able to be solved and people are getting caught. This source is yet another source that applies to how the accuracy of forensics is sure to be improving has the times flies.
- Can the discovery of brain fingerprinting foreshadow any future discoveries in the forensic world.
- By improving forensic tools, are we improving forensic accuracy?

A Forensic Laboratory
A forensic Laboratory is filled will various exciting and usual things. A laboratory is used by different scientist specialized in the similar science studies trying to unravel a forensic mystery. By using each scientist unique intelligence they are able to connect and share results and develop answers.Usually the laboratories are interdependently run, but there are some cases that police stations have their forensic laboratory. Some laboratories are put with universities allowing students to have first hand experience. Each laboratory include various types of modern technology that help analyze any type of evidence. Photography is very vital in a forensic laboratory because it is used to create visual images of evidence to be able to analyze. Maintaining a laboratory is very hard and involves hundreds of people to help out and make sure everything run sufficiently.
Do you think that allowing students to have a first hand experience with forensic laboratories predicts a good outcome for future forensic technology?
Do you think that forensic Laboratories play a vital role in crime scenes being solved?

Step Toward Better Track Evidence Photos
The article describes and explains the importance of evaluating impressions. Each impressions are to be strictly analyzed. Taking a photograph of a impression must be done properly in order to have use for the impression. Following the directed guideline can ensure sufficient details are recorded.
Crime scene documentation should include the basic series of photographs advised for all crimes scenes evidence.Overall photographs include the tracks or impressions and relate their locations within the general context of the crime scene.All close-up impressions should be taken utilizing proper camera position.
Taking impression photographs require specific detailed steps. Since the photographs are taken very detailed, we can ensure that this method of analyzing a crime scene is helping improve forensic studies.
-Do you think that forensic impressions are a great source to solve a crime?

Innovations in Scanning Electron Microscopy Preserve Sample Integrity and Validity in Forensic Analysi
The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) allows forensic scientist to get well powered and magnified pictures. This machine has analytical capabilities that most other techniques don't have. Scanning Electron Microscopes have a large depth fields which makes is capable to capture well-focused images of complex three dimensional objects. The Scanning Electron Microscope is used for various objects, such as hair strands, gun residue, paint fiber, and many more.Other microscopes form real images with reflecting light, the SEM makes a visual appearance on a electronic screen.
Electron Scanning Microscopes is just one of the many tools used to identify suspects.Machinery like this one is continued to be made and improved, as the years increase forensics will continue to become for accurate. Just by using this microscope it allows them to be a step closer to the results.
Is the Scanning Electron microscope like any other microscope?
By inventing machinery like this one do you think that forensic can increase their accuracy?
