Techniques for Collecting Hair/Fiber

Gather hair and fiber samples at the scene of a crime vary on the size of the fiber into evidence. If the fiber is large then the investigators will use their fingers, gloves worn of course, to pick up the fiber. However if the fiber is smaller, tweezers maybe used to capture the hairs. After the fibers are gathered, they are put into separate bagging, sent to the laboratories, and tested for their identity.

  1. I was wondering if you could put a picture or 2 in. The wording of the intro sentence needs revising because it is confusing when you say, "samples at the scene of a crime vary on the size of the fiber," and then move on to say, "into evidence." Other than that it's fine.
