1. Edition - September 2008 51.90 Euro 2008. 384 Pages, Hardcover - Handbook/Reference Book - ISBN-10: 0-470-03176-X ISBN-13: 978-0-470-03176-6 - John Wiley & Sons
Short description Forensic microscopy is the application of various microscopes and microscopic techniques to evidence that has been collected through an investigation. Perfect as a companion text to Forensic Microscopy or as a stand-alone, Practical Forensic Microscopy adapts microscopic procedures used in crime laboratories to practical experiments which can be taught in college laboratories. Featuring numerous experiments and worksheets, this lab manual is designed for both students and practitioners who are looking for an introduction to the various microscopes and microscopic techniques used in forensic science.
