Using funds from this grant, the City of Birmingham Crime Laboratory purchased additional microscopes and laboratory benchware, and installed digital imaging equipment.
Abstract
The addition of new microscopes reduced wait time for examiners and resulted in a 28-percent increase in cases examined. The new benchware provides added area for staff to conduct examinations, allows for more thorough clean-up, and reduces the potential for cross-contamination.
