Hair microscopy
Hair microscopy and hair evidence, at one time, were a widely used form of evidence in forensic science investigations. It is an easily transferable form of evidence that is used in casework. Hair microscopy is the examination of human hairs, conducted in a forensic laboratory, through the use of light microscopy. It involves two steps, (1) the identification, (2) examination of the questioned or known hair sample. However, hair microscopy and the value of hair evidence are under question for its level of accuracy and adequacy in crime scene investigations.
