Future Forensic Science Experts & Criminal Investigators Need a Microscope

Help me give my students a comparison microscope so that they may have hands-on experience studying Forensic Science, Criminal Investigations and Law Enforcement. This will provide them experience in hair, fiber & ballistic analysis.

My Project

Technology and science have become major factors to the successful investigation of crimes. The analysis of hair, fiber, ballistic and other evidence is a big part of that. With the current equipment available for my Forensic Science , Criminal Investigations & Law Enforcement classes my students do not have the opportunity to have practical experience studying these aspects of forensic science. A comparison microscope would give them the opportunity to have this hands-on experience. It is widely accepted that students learn more by doing something than by simply hearing or reading about it. With each passing year, I am attempting to ignite that spark of interest in my students by offering varied learning experiences , and having this piece of equipment will go a long way toward achieving that goal. Im hoping you will join me in offering my students the best experience possible!
