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.
