Hair+Analysis

=

 * Samples of hair were collected from each suspect. It is your job to compare each hair sample to the hair sample found at the crime scene. Sketch what you see under the microscope as you examine each sample, looking for similarities and differences. Be sure to show enough detail in your drawings that someone else could "see" what you see. Drawings should be carefully labeled. These should be completed on your Evidence Analysis Summary Report. **=====
