Forensic Microscopy: Truth Under the Lenses provides an overview and understanding of the various types of microscopes and their techniques employed in forensic science. The book emphasizes both the theoretical and practical aspects of microscopy to enrich the reader’s understanding of the various tools, techniques, and utility—including strengths and weaknesses—of types of microscopes in analyzing certain forms of evidence.The book begins with the history of microscopes, the basic optics for microscopy, then moves to advanced microscopies such as electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes. In addition to the various types of microscopes and how to use and best utilize them, the book looks at the analysis of specific types of evidence, including hair, fiber, fingerprint, body fluids, tool marks, ink, pollen grains, spores, diatoms, bullets, cartridges, among other evidence types. Since forensic science is an applied, hands-on discipline, the book includes both a theoretical and a practical approach to the topic.Key Features:Addresses simple to advanced microscopy techniques for the effective analyses of trace evidencePairs chapters on a particular type of microscopy, explaining it thoroughly, before delving into specific usage for forensic applicationsPresents theories and as well as real-world application of conceptsProvides abundant micro-photographs, including graphical representations and flow charts, to illustrate concepts clearlyForensic Microscopy serves as a helpful reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students in forensic science, forensic biology, forensic chemistry and related programs. It is also recommended for research students, academicians, technicians, industry and laboratory professionals working on trace evidence analysis.

Forensic Science: Towards A New Horizon provides an overview and understanding of the various upcoming areas/subjects in the field of Forensic Science. The book emphasizes theoretical and practical aspects to enrich the reader’s understanding of the various facets of the topics covered.With the advancement in the ways of committing crime, forensic experts, law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders must have an overview of the newer and less talked about topics such as E-waste Forensics, Canine Forensics, Virtual Autopsy, Food Forensics, Forensics Stylistics among others. This book provides ample opportunity for readers to understand the new concepts, technologies and strategies that would be helpful in scientific aid to investigation. This book is a starting point/origin for the readers and researchers to pick up and delve into the intricacies and details to build up their research work.The idea behind writing this book originates from the inherent lack of literature on the topics covered herein. The resources available are scarce and scattered, which makes it difficult for readers to gain a complete understanding or even an overview of the different characteristics. Most available learning resources deal with only one or two aspects of the subject and ignore others. The style of this book and the approach gives the law enforcement agencies of not-so-developed and developing nations alternative thinking points, which would help build a more robust investigation.
