LGI Forensic Laboratories

Key Laboratory Equipment

Zeiss Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with IXRF Systems Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS) 

Images the surface of fractures and other critical areas of interest on evidence up to several thousand times magnification and can identify elemental composition of materials.

Buehler Micro Hardness Tester 

Provides hardness measurements of metals on a microscopic scale.

Keyence VHX 7000 Series 3D 4K Digital Microscope 

Delivers high definition imaging that rivals SEM while providing color, dimensional analysis, high depth of field, and 3-D profilometry.

Nikon Eclipse Inverted & Stereo Microscope 

Provides clear and defined metallographic imaging up to 1000X on prepared samples, and low magnification imaging on large samples.

Thermo Scientific Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) 

Provides positive material identification for both organic and inorganic materials.

Clark Macro Hardness Tester 

Provides hardness measurements of metals on a macroscopic scale.

TA Instruments Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) 

Provides valuable information on polymers and plastics including a material’s glass transition and melting temperature, thermal history, and oxidative induction time.

Mobile X-Ray Radiography 

Allows non-destructive imaging of internal components.

Why Clients Choose
