Age determination of bloodstains at a crime scene by Contact Resonance Atomic Force Microscopy

Bachelor thesis | Natuurkunde (BSc)
This report addresses the crucial question of bloodstain age determination for forensic investigations, with particular focus on the use of Atomic Force Microscopy, specifically Contact Resonance Force Microscopy. Because of the laboratory ban due to the covid-19 crisis, extra emphasis is laid on literature review of other known forensic methods that have been proposed to solve this question. Furthermore, some preliminary results obtained with the more ‘traditional‘ nano-indentation AFM technique are presented.
