Forensic Comparison Microscope (Product Code: SLE/M/53) is a twin-body microscope used to compare two specimens side by side, such as fibres, hairs or tool marks, in forensic science teaching labs and criminology courses. One Siedentopf-design trinocular head sits on a comparison bridge above two microscope bodies, with 2x macro and 4x, 10x and 40x micro objectives and top and bottom LED lighting. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, within its range of laboratory instruments in India.

A comparison microscope brings two specimens into a single view so their features can be matched directly rather than from memory. In forensic science teaching, students set a questioned fibre beside a reference fibre, compare the colour and scale pattern of two hairs, or line up the striations left by a tool on two practice samples. The same approach helps in materials and textile classes where two samples must be judged against each other.
For a fair comparison, set both bodies to the same objective and match the top and bottom lighting with the intensity controls. Use the 2x macro objective and the black-and-white plate for larger items, and the 4x, 10x and 40x micro objectives with slides for fibres and hair. The LEDs give light with virtually no heat, so delicate samples are not warmed during long examinations.
The Forensic Comparison Microscope is supplied by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana.

How does the Forensic Comparison Microscope work?
The Forensic Comparison Microscope has two microscope bodies joined by a comparison bridge that carries one Siedentopf-design trinocular head. Looking through its two 10x eyepieces, the user sees the specimens from both bodies together and can compare them side by side.
What objectives does the Forensic Comparison Microscope use?
The Forensic Comparison Microscope is listed with a 2x macro objective and 4x, 10x and 40x micro objectives. Macro work uses a floating black-and-white plate, while micro work uses a floating stage with clips for slides.
What lighting does the Forensic Comparison Microscope have?
The Forensic Comparison Microscope has top and bottom LED lights with variable intensity control, giving energy-efficient white light with virtually no heat. The LED is listed to last up to 50,000 hours between replacements, which keeps maintenance and downtime low.
Can the Forensic Comparison Microscope run without mains power?
Yes. The Forensic Comparison Microscope supports cordless rechargeable operation as well as AC operation. The battery run time is not stated in the listing, so ask us on the contact page if you plan extended use away from a socket.
Can a camera be fitted to the Forensic Comparison Microscope?
The Forensic Comparison Microscope has a trinocular head, which is normally used to attach a camera for recording comparisons. A camera and adapter are not listed as included, so tell us your imaging needs and we will advise on a suitable option.
Who supplies the Forensic Comparison Microscope?
The Forensic Comparison Microscope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company handles enquiries from universities, training academies, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What should a Forensic Comparison Microscope quotation request include?
A Forensic Comparison Microscope quotation request should give the quantity, the delivery location and whether you need a camera for the trinocular port. Adding the forensic kits or slides you plan to use lets us quote a complete practical set-up.
