Foster+Freeman Forensic Science Innovation

UK’s leading #forensic professionals come together in Evesham for a one-off collaborative #workshop   This week foster+freeman played host to a group of forensic and #crimescene examiners representing the UK’s leading civil and military police forces. Focusing on the modernisation of #crimescenetechnology together with enhanced laboratory efficiency, the one-off gathering saw attendees receive a full-day of hands-on training in the use of foster+freeman’s most advanced systems for evidence detection and imaging. Thanks to everyone who took part.

Will you join us on Wednesday 31st July for a new #Forensic #Science #Webinar? In this month's webinar, our team will be examining the technology being employed in the fightback against document fraud, a crime that enables all other forms of organised criminal activity.

Experts interrogate the Missale Nidrosiense, Norway's first printed book, with Advanced #Forensic #Technology The Missale Nidrosiense, a 1519 manuscript, held many secrets. To unlock its story, experts at the National Library of Norway embarked on a fascinating interdisciplinary study using a variety of cutting-edge techniques typically found in #forensicscience labs: VSC Multispectral Imaging: A non-invasive method, commonly used in document analysis, revealed hidden details within the book's components. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eb9ebRzV X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF): Helped analyse the composition of metallic elements, providing clues about the materials used. Synchrotron-based Infrared Microscopy: Combined with XRF, allowed the researchers to characterise pigments, printing inks, and binders used in the book's creation. X-Ray Tomography: Helped date and determine the origin of the book's wooden boards through dendrochronology. Biocodicology: for parchment analysis was able to identify the animal species used, offering insights into historical practices. Through this comprehensive investigation, a detailed "biography" of the Missale Nidrosiense was created, uncovering new information about the materials used and their origins. This project, which provides valuable insights into the craftsmanship, economy, trade, and commerce of early 16th-century North-west Scandinavia, is Open Access and available here: https://lnkd.in/eAxiqnNn #forensics #manuscriptanalysis #history #science #culturalheritage
