Trace Evidence You will need
How to
This DIY CSI can be found in the second Issue of the CSI Magazine. Thanks to them for this DIY CSI.
- Sticky tape
- White card
- Large Piece of white paper
How to
- This DIY consists of two methods, but first you need to find a room with lots of trace evidence.
- Method 1:
- Start lifting the trace evidence using your tape. (on the back of chairs, on the carpet...)
- Once you've collected the trace on your tape, being careful, peel the tape back and stick it to your white card.
- Do this many times around the room your processing!
- Method 2:
- If you have things in your room you can shake (pillow, mats...) the trace evidence off, you should use this next method.
- Place the large piece of white paper on the floor.
- Shake your object over the large piece of white paper. Your trace evidence will fall onto the paper.
- Pick up the trace by using the tape like before.
- Once your finish collecting all the trace evidence, you can start analyzing it. It's usually done using very hi-teach instruments, but you probably don't have any at home. If you have a microscope, you can analyze your evidence with that. If you don't have anything, then just use your eyes.
- Did you figure out what you've collected?

Watch
If your using a microscope to look at your trace make sure its a newish one. The only one i had was my grandad's microscope and i'm pretty sure it used to be his grandad's. It's the kind that you use fire as a light. Anyway, my trace evidence caught on fire.
Do you find this valuable?
