Abstract
The technique of FT-IR/microscopy is applied to a variety of problems faced by the forensics chemist. These are as varied as the identification of drugs and fibers to the assignment of the origin of a paint sample. Our efforts in the effective utilization of FT-IR/microscopy in this area and usage of new data bases to aid in identifications are discussed.
