Physics and chemistry

In the Department of Physics and Chemistry forensic physicists, chemists, biologists, and geologists investigate a wide range of organic and inorganic material residues with non-human origin and human/animal hairs.

Furthermore, physicists answer questions connected to theoretical problems also such as case reconstructions (way of human body’s falling). Chemists are involved in building of national databases and spectrum libraries (dyes, fibres, paints etc.) as well.

 

Our well trained and experienced forensic scientists analyze the scientific evidences on special analytical instruments, for example SEM-EDS, Micro-XRF analyzer, FTIR and Raman microscopes and ICP-MS.

Our units are: Laboratory of Forensic Geology and Botany, Laboratory of Microtraces, Laboratory of Forensic Physics and Inorganic Analysis.

Quality assured activities (forensic examinations of pieces of evidence): paints, fibres and textiles, human and animal hairs, glasses, metals, gunshot residues (GSR), minerals.
