Small bloodstains on fabric can be viewed with microscopy to answer questions about the case. Microscopy can often differentiate if the stain was created due to a forceful impact (spatter stain) or due to rubbing or coming into contact with a blood source (transfer stain). Microscopy can put the suspect in contact with the victim when a beating occurred, rather than holding the victim as is often claimed. We have the equipment to examine stains microscopically as well as photograph them for inclusion in the bloodstain pattern analysis report.
