Forensic Science Forensic scientists solve exiting and puzzling mysteries, which makes the unsolvable crimes solvable. Forensic science started in England in the 1780's. Scientists use microscopes that can magnify things from 1,500 to 250,000 times! This enables them to contribute like none other to the capture of criminals. In order to become a forensic scientist, first you must become a scientist first. The history of forensic science goes back all the way to the 1780's in England. In 1783 scientists found many ways to identify criminals. One way was fingerprinting. They also used sketch artists and witnesses who saw the criminal. In 1787, scientists …show more content…
Scientists use thermometers to determine the time of death. Scientists also use a tape measurer to measure the distance between footprints. Scientists use microscopes that can magnify things from 1,500 times to 250,000 times! These microscopes are called electron microscopes. They use a beam of electrons to magnify the object. Scientists also use comparison microscopes, which are used to compare two things. They can see extremely small objects. They can enlarge things up to 1,500 times. They use light rays, which pass through the lens, which bends the light rays and magnifies the …show more content…
She said that "forensic science is like trying to solve a gigantic puzzle and it could take years to finish." She also said, "it is a good future too. After you move on, you can work for a lawyer." In forensic science you kneed to know allot of evidence in some cases to convince the jury that the suspect is guilty or innocent. Some things used to convince the jury is photographs of the suspect. You can use witnesses to convince a jury that a suspect is either guilty or innocent. A witness can remember faces to make a very detailed drawing of the suspect and identify the criminal. People called sketch artists draw the sketches. They can also work for a lawyer if they been in the field for a long time. Evidence also takes a big roll in a case. If you do not have enough evidence you may be guilty although you are no or if you are guilty but the defendant does not have enough evidence to prove you are
