Forensic labs use the SNE-Alpha desktop SEM-EDS for gunshot residue (GSR) analysis, trace evidence identification, and questioned document examination. The 90-second sample-to-image speed and no-coating requirement for most samples makes it the fastest forensic SEM on the market. Compatible with FBI and ASTM E1588 GSR protocols.

Forensic Applications
Gunshot Residue (GSR)
Automated SEM-EDS particle search identifies characteristic Pb/Ba/Sb particles per ASTM E1588 standards.
Trace Evidence
Examine glass fragments, paint chips, soil particles, and fibers with high-resolution imaging and elemental analysis.
Document Analysis
Ink composition, paper fiber analysis, and toner characterization for questioned document examination.
