University event offered by University of Winchester
Short Session Delivered online
Our Expert Experience for Forensic Investigation is offered with two options.
Forensic Entomology
Students will collect blow fly larvae (maggots) from an outdoor "crime scene", then review the larvae in the laboratory, before identifying them to species. Students will then estimate a minimum time since death based on species and temperature data.
Type of Activity: Practical session involving outdoor work and lab work requiring stereo microscopes (we can accommodate 30 students in the university laboratory).
Forensic Hair Comparison
We will provide a library of animal and human hair samples to view under the microscope and a 'crime sample' and the students need to work out who the offender is. The session can discuss features of human and animal hairs and the comparative features used in forensic analysis.
Type of Activity: Lab based session with slide microscopes which could be in your place of learning or labs on campus.
