DESCRIPTION
This module introduces one of the central principles of forensic science, that of quantitative measurements, their interpretation and manipulation. The emphasis of this unit is based around understanding the measurement process, the significance of the measurement units and the mathematical manipulation of the data obtained to produce results of use to the analyst. The relevant mathematical skills needed to achieve this are provided within the unit. Students will also be introduced to the main types of electronic measurement transducer and the electrical measurement principles need to understand the measurement function. These concepts are further developed as students are introduced to the most common analytical instrumentation. Basic chromatographic and spectrographic techniques are covered.
