[Evaluation of cross sections of hairs with Leitz-A.S.M. (author's transl)].

Abstract

In forensic case work hair comparison till now almost exclusively is done qualitatively. To improve the evidence of hairs in this study cross sections are evaluated by means of a Leitz-A.S.M.. Following parameters are measured and tested for relevance: circumference, area, form factor, x-axis, y-axis. High intraspecific variability necessitates further studies.
