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?
