VSC-4 document examination instruments are widely used in the forensic investigation of questioned documents. |
High quality stereomicroscopes are essential for forensic scientists for the examination of trace evidence. |
|
|
High performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography are extremely sensitive techniques utilised in the analysis of drugs, body fluids, fire accelerants. |

|
|
Electrostatic detection apparatus (ESDA) is highly effective for document examination, particularly, for the visualisation of indented writing. |
UV-visible light spectrometers are employed for accurate quantitative analysis of coloured samples. |
|
|
ICP spectrometer is an extremely powerful instrument capable of simultaneous determination of 70 elements with the detection limits ~1 part per billion. |
A comparison microscope is particularly useful for studying questioned and control specimens under identical conditions. |
