A Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on the MiScope MP3, a digital forensic mi-
croscope was organized for the faculty members of the Department of Life Sciences at
Kristu Jayanti College, Bangalore, on 20th November 2021. The session was held offline
at the Forensic Science Laboratory, 3rd floor, Main Block. The resource persons for the
session were Mr. Suraj G (Director) and Mr. Senthil Kumar (Manager), Metronic Services,
Bangalore, which was a knowledge partner for the FDP.
The objective of the FDP was to provide hands-on training on the use of the MiScope
MP3, which is a new technology available in the field of Forensic Science.
The session started with a silent prayer, after which Prof. Jeremiah Justus M, a faculty
member of the Unit of Forensic Science, welcomed the resource persons and the
participants.
The resource people unboxed the MiScope MP3 instrument purchased for the Foren-
sic Science Laboratory, Kristu Jayanti College, and went through the installation proce-
dures with the participants. The MiScope MP3 is a Digital Forensic microscope that uses
alternate light sources while magnifying images. It is highly useful in the field of Ques-
tioned Documents examination and is also suitable for studying biological specimens
and physical evidence. It is a handy and portable device that can be very useful in field-
work as well. The features, handling, and troubleshooting of the device were explained
elaborately by the resource people. The participants were also given hands-on time to
work and learn about the equipment in detail.
Prof. Chetna Tidke, faculty member, Unit of Forensic Science, concluded the session with
a vote of thanks.
