Event Description

Organiser: Jonathan Painter, Cranfield University, Shrivenham

This meeting builds on the success of the two previous meetings, "Applications of Microscopical Techniques in Forensic Science" held in June 2001 and “Forensic Electron Microscopy – Spreading Best Practice” held in June 2003.

Developments in both microscopical and spectroscopic imaging technologies have greatly increased their potential for sample analysis. The meeting will introduce the latest imaging technologies and highlight their respective capabilities with particular reference to their use, or potential use, in forensic applications.

A panel session is planned to address the issues of dissemination and uptake of best practice in forensic electron microscopy.

Registrants are invited to submit abstracts (up to 150 words) for consideration as oral or poster presentations.
The abstract deadline is Tuesday 12 September 2006.
Please email your abstract as a Word document to Allison Winton
