4. Fiber Analysis

Instructions (Part I): Obtain microscope slides and a set of fiber samples from each of the five suspects. Prepare each sample for viewing using the method in this video. 

Instructions (Part II): Use your microscope to examine the fibers from the crime scene. Pay attention to features like texture, color, and thickness, along with any other visible characteristics. As you examine each fiber, take a clear, magnified picture with your phone using the technique demonstrated in the video below.

Instructions (Part III):  Use the QR code provided below to upload the images of each fiber taken with your phone. Type your first name in the “Subject” area and label each image with the corresponding suspect’s designation (e.g., “Suspect 1”…etc., ) in the “Write something” area. You will need to upload an image for each suspect.
