An eight-page brochure from JEOL USA Inc. highlights the company’s analytical instruments for forensic science. It states that the scanning electron microscopes, including the JSM-6480LV, enable investigators to examine minute physical details in fibers, paint chips, trace evidence, gunshot residue, and bullets and casings with magnifications and depth of field unavailable with the light microscope. The company’s high-resolution spectrometers enable mass measurements to determine the elemental composition of unknown substances, and the Teemmate, a combined tunable-energy electron monochromator and GCmate II mass spectrometer is suitable for the detection of explosives, bacterial spores and contaminants. Illustrations and graphs are included.
