Typical Hair/Fiber Analysis

Scientist analyze hair and fibers by looking at them under a microscope. After the hair or fiber is positioned correctly under the microscope, the scientist compares it to a range of other hairs or fibers that are possibilities of being an exact match, most of the time collected from the crime scene or the suspect's property. Once they find an exact match, they try to make a connection between the analysis and the crime scene, or in other words, to see if it is useful the proving the suspect guilty.
