Interpretation:
Some applications for Light microscopy and Electron microscopy in forensic investigations have to be listed.
Concept Introduction:
Light microscope: A device that transmits light through several lenses to produce an enlarged image of a microscopic specimen.
Modern compound light microscope, under optimal conditions can magnify an object from
Electron microscope: An electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning over it with a focused beam of electrons. The incident electrons interact with electrons in the sample and producing various signals that can be detected and contain information about the sample’s surface topography and composition.
Forensics sciences: This branch of scientific knowledge and methodology to the legal problems and criminal investigations. It is encompasses many different files of sciences (chemistry, biology, engineering, medicine and pathology).

- What are the following abbreviations stands for? ESI, TOF, MALDI, NMR, IR, UV-Vis.arrow_forwardWho is the father of the microscope?arrow_forwardA sample is dissolved in water and analyzed using spectrophotometry. The sample shows an absorbance peak at a wavelength of 486 nm. Which one of the following adjustments would increase the absorption at that wavelength? O Diluting the sample with additional water. O Evaporating some of the water from the sample. Decreasing the path length, b. the light takes through the sample. Re-measuring the absorbance of the blank (water).arrow_forward
- Does sunlight affect uv vis spectrophotometer ? is this statement true? ''Sunlight can dim the measurements by heating the instrument, leading to inaccurate measurements.''arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is FALSE? a.UV envelopes electronic transitions b.IR uses light with a wavelength of 200-400 nm. c. MRI uses radio waves d. MS involves fragmentation of moleculesarrow_forwardQuestion 4 What is the correct order of the components in a UV-Visible spectrophotometer? A) Sample Light source →→ Monochromator→ Photodetector B Light Source →→→ Sample → Monochromator→ Photodetector C Light source → Sample Photodetector → Monochromator D Light Source →→→ Monochromator→ Sample Photodetector Continuearrow_forward
- How did you decide on the wavelength at which you will read the absorbance of the diluted solutions? What is the importance of reading the absorbance of diluted solutions at λmax? What will vary if you chose a wavelength 20 nm lower or higher than your chosen wavelength?
