    1.) It’s a Infrared Microspectroscopy
    2.) It’s used in Forensic Science Hair & Fiber Analysis using a
    non-destructive nature and the microscope has the ability to analyze with a small amount of sample (as low as a picogram or less) which makes it ideal for the limited-quantity sample evidence usually associated with forensic investigations.

  • Josh D. Lee says:

    It is a scanning white light interferometer.

    It is used to measure distances between two marks on a straight line. It provides a quantitative measure for tool mark identification.

  • Joshua Dale says:

    A White Light Scanner (WLS) is a device for measuring the physical geometrical characteristics of an object. It is the most accurate device for measuring the entire physical geometrical characteristics of an object 3 dimensionally. This machine may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled by a robot. Conventional WLS systems use fringe contrast to yield surface information. Frequency domain analysis (FDA) is an alternate approach that uses all of the information available in the interferogram. This Fourier analysis method is used to convert intensity data to the spatial frequency domain, allowing production of an extremely accurate surface map. From Wiki
