AI Article Synopsis
- The Fx5 Fibre Finder, created by Foster & Freeman Ltd, automatically searches tape lifts for specific colored fibers selected by the user.
- Research and experiments have been carried out to evaluate the Fx5's effectiveness and compare it to traditional manual searching methods.
- Utilizing the Fx5 could significantly reduce the time scientists spend on low-power microscopy, allowing them to focus on other important tasks in forensic textile examination.
Article Abstract
The Fx5 Fibre Finder has been developed by Foster & Freeman Ltd to automatically search tape lifts for coloured fibres specified by the operator. Experiments and casework studies have been conducted to assess primarily the performance of the instrument but also, where possible, to compare it with manual searching. Tape lifts have always been manually searched at this laboratory and it is a laborious task. The use of a machine such as the Fx5 would release a scientist from many hours of low power microscopy to be free for other duties and therefore could be a valuable labour saving device in forensic textile examination.
