I have received ballistics and firearms evidence ranging from a misdemeanor to a septuple homicide from all over the U.S. for independent evaluation.
It is critical that evidence be examined in my own lab using equipment which I am the sole user of and is meticulously maintained.
I will not conduct tests which require I be observed or use equipment that is not familiar to me.
I utilize only high end instrumentation which is calibrated to NIST traceable measuring standards.
Leitz Comparison Microscope with multiple Zeiss eyepieces and turret objectives with trinocular tube mounted Canon digital camera capable of zoom, macro, and a combination of digital illumination effects. Digital photomicrographs are captured in real time through software.
Comparison microscope illumination options are fiber optic and/or mounted incandescent stage lighting
Leica bullet and cartridge case holders can be changed depending on caliber, deformation, or angle comparisons.
Triple boom stereo microscope with 5 megapixel camera and software which can measure evidence to 100,000th of an inch precisely and capture images.
Unitron Measuring Projector with several stage options for holding evidence which can measure in both millimeters and inches.
Toolmakers microscope with a calibrated measuring reticle capable of measurements to 1/1000 of an inch.
Images, provided by discovery or self-generated, can be enhanced, magnified, resized, adjusted for illumination and noise through several software programs and saved to any file format. PowerPoint presentations can be assembled for court.
Nikon D5000 Professional Model Digital SLR with numerous lenses Several other digital and manual tools are utilized to reach scientific conclusions.
Propietary safeguards ensure protection and preservation of evidence.
