Evidence at a crime scene may only be found in small, trace amounts so forensic scientists use a variety of techniques including microscopic analysis, mass spectrometry, chromatography and DNA analysis. Once samples have been collected from a crime scene, ESR technicians carries out forensic analysis.

For roughly a century, forensic ballistics experts have been comparing bullets and cartridge cases by visually examining them under a split-screen microscope. After comparing the bullets, the examiner can offer an expert opinion as to whether they match but cannot express the strength of the evidence numerically.

The examination of individual and class characteristics of a spent bullet, spent cartridge or firing residues recovered from a crime scene can help classify the ammunition (make, calibre or gauge), trace the ammunition, establish the bullet trajectory, identify the shooting firearm, and establish links between the ...

To look for matching marks, the bullets are examined under a special microscope that allows side-by-side comparison of two objects. (In fact, the comparison microscope, now used in many fields of science, was invented in 1923 specifically for the purpose of comparing bullets.)

The forensic scientist (toolmark examiner) using the comparison microscope will conduct comparison examinations to determine whether or not a particular tool may or may not have caused the markings on the evidence.

Four categories of ballistics include internal, transitional, external, and terminal ballistics. Internal ballistics depicts the event occurring from the time of the propellant's ignition until it reaches the end of the gun barrel.

The NIST Ballistics Toolmark Research Database (NBTRD) is an open-access research database of bullet and cartridge case toolmark data. The development of the database is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice.

A comparison microscope is used for the examination of fired bullets, bullet fragments and cartridge/shotshell cases.
