The following tests are some examples of those that are used on hand specimens, or on field samples, or on thin sections with the aid of a polarizing microscope. Color; Color of the mineral. Color alone is not diagnostic. For example quartz can be almost any color, depending on minor impurities and microstructure. Streak
The characterization technique optical microscopy showing the micron scale dendritic microstructure of a bronze alloy. Characterization, when used in materials science, refers to the broad and general process by which a material's structure and properties are probed and measured.
Using spectroscopy, the two scientists were able to identify substances based on their spectrum, providing a method of identification for unknown materials. [17] In 1906 botanist Mikhail Tsvet invented paper chromatography , an early predecessor to thin layer chromatography, and used it to separate and examine the plant proteins that make up ...
LOM examination is fast and can cover a large area. Thus, the analysis can determine if the more expensive, more time-consuming examination techniques using the SEM or the TEM are required and where on the specimen the work should be concentrated. Scanning transmission electron microscope, used in metallography
Most commonly the trace evidence that is examined is microscopic due to the fact that it can not be examined by the naked eye. [12] In this case there are many different types of microscopes that can be used including stereomicroscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) or comparison microscope. [12]
Scanning electron microscope image of pollen (false colors) Microscopic examination in a biochemical laboratory. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

A sequence determination is a type of examination conducted by a forensic document examiner. [1] This type of forensic examination is done in an attempt to determine which of two events occurred first in the preparation of a document. Another term used for this type of examination is "sequence of intersections" since the evaluation requires ...
The Nomarski prism causes the two rays to come to a focal point outside the body of the prism, and so allows greater flexibility when setting up the microscope, as the prism can be actively focused. 3. The two rays are focused by the condenser for passage through the sample. These two rays are focused so they will pass through two adjacent ...
