FIBERS MATTER

Ms. Hartvigsen Medial Forensic classes are at it again. They learned how important fibers can be in solving a crime in their labs last week.

Fiber is one of the most common types of trace evidence that can be found at a crime scene.  Would you know the difference between cotton, silk, angora, cashmere, carpet, rope, and wool fibers?  Fiber analysts look at color, diameter, warp, and weft patterns, as well as length-wise striations, and dyes.  Students found it interesting to look through the microscope and actually see the pattern that is made by the fabric they were studying.  Would you be able to look at a piece of fiber and match it to a suspect? 

These students are learning how to do just that, and are finding out how important this can be.

 WAY TO GO MEDICAL FORENSICS!!
