The NIJ Forensic Microscopy Training Program

The NIJ Forensic Microscopy Training Program provides a week of basic and advanced forensic microscopy education and training to prepare forensic scientists for the identification and characterization of physical evidence. Participants will learn polarized light microscopy and related techniques through intensive hands-on courses and instruction.

Courses begin in January 2008. They are open to
forensic science practitioners in microscopy or trace evidence who work in state or local crime laboratories.

Eight seats are available for each of the five-day courses, which will be held at the McCrone Research Institute (McRI) in Chicago.

NIJ Forensic Microscopy Training Program Web site for details on the courses, including schedules and enrollment information.
