| Summary: | Background:
Fluorescence Microscope is a promising analytical method for the examination of the sequence of strokes of writing inks of different colours, brands, and models in a questioned document.
Aims and Objectives:
In the present article, an attempt has been made to categorize the writing inks of different brands and colours on the basis of their fluorescence.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 36 writing inks were used to make the different intersections on a standard A4 sheet which were then analyzed under the excitation filters of the Fluorescence Microscope.
Results:
The results indicated that the different inks can be characterized optically based on the luminescent components of the ink present in crossed lined intersections.
Conclusions:
Fluorescence Microscopy is a relatively simple, fast, inexpensive, and non-destructive technology that can be used in conjunction with other, more complex, and expensive technologies to identify the sequence of line crossing. It can provide a novel way of analysis based on the assessment of microelement analysis and the characteristics of diverse ink handwriting samples. |
