Forensic anthropology deals with human remains usually in the skeletonized form. The
application of microscopy to skeletal tissues is well established and used routinely in
biomedical science. Its adaptation to forensic questions is an increasing area of interest,
and publications utilizing microscopy have increased in the scientific literature. In Forensic
Microscopy for Skeletal Tissues: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the forensic,
archeological and paleontological disciplines, and detail many of the methods which are
now commonly used to study skeletal material. These methods include differing forms
of light, confocal, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy. Written in
the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, stepby-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Forensic Microscopy for Skeletal Tissues: Methods and
Protocols bring together differing forms of microscopy that are used in association with
forensic anthropology, or have relevance to questions concerning forensic anthropology.
