Obtain Images of Many Different Materials

The ASPEX PSEM integrates high magnification imaging, rapid non-destructive compositional analysis, and robust computer automation. In addition to the automated analysis of GSR particles, the PSEM can be used to obtain images of different materials commonly used as forensic evidence, including:

• Explosives and explosive residues
• Hairs and Fibers
• Tool marks
• Metal samples - fractured, mechanically damaged, melted, heated burned, severed, cut, fragmented
• Knives, blades and sharpened objects
• Lamp bulbs and heating elements
• Clothing, fabric, upholstery
