  1. CCI Firearms and Toolmark Examiner Academy Workshop on Current Firearms and ToolmarkResearch Pushing Out the Frontiers of Forensic Science

  2. Outline • Morning-ish • Introduction and the Daubert Standard • Confocal Microscopy • Focus Variation Microscopy • Interferometric Microscopy • Surface Data/Filtering

  3. Outline • Afternoon-ish • Similarity scores and Cross-correlation functions • Known Match/Known Non-Match Similarity Score histograms. False Positives/False Negatives/Error Rates • Multivariate Discrimination of Toolmarks • Measures of “Match Quality” • Confidence • Posterior Error Rate/Random Match Probability • Lessons learned in conducting a successful research project

  4. Introduction • DNA profiling the most successful application of statistics in forensic science. • Responsible for current interest in “raising standards” of other branches in forensics…?? • No protocols for the application of statistics to comparison of tool marks. • Our goal: application of objective, numerical computational pattern comparison to tool marks Caution: Statistics is not a panacea!!!!

  5. The Daubert Standard • Daubert (1993)- Judges are the “gatekeepers” of scientific evidence. • Must determine if the science is reliable • Has empirical testing been done? • Falsifiability • Has the science been subject to peer review? • Are there known error rates? • Is there general acceptance? • Federal Government and 26(-ish) States are “Daubert States”

  42. Confocal Microscope Trivia • Use high NA objectives for best results • Small working distances • Flanks up to ~ 70o • Cost ~150K – 250K (FTI IBIS ~1M) • Get a vibration isolation table for your instrument ~7K • Set up in a (dry) basement if possible • Accuracy down to +/- 10 nm Optical slice thickness =

  43. Confocal Microscope Trivia • Some manufactures: • Olympus • LEXT (Laser) • Zeiss • CSM (White Light) • LSM (Laser) • Nanofocus • msurf series (White Light) • Sensofar/Leica • Plu series/DCM (White Light)

  44. Focus Variation Microscope “Low res” common Focus variation mic ~ +/- 1mm Scherer and Prantl
