How do forensic scientists use bones to identify unknown individuals?
The structure and sizes of bones can be used by forensic scientists to identify unknown individuals. Different ethnic groups have different bone structures and there is stark contrast between the bones of males and females. Forensic scientists can use a single bone - if that is all they are provided with - to calculate the height, gender, and ethnicity. I do not know how they can tell, since I have not studied in that area, but they can usually tell with first glance what gender it should be. Also, different people have had unique medical records. Records of fractures, or breaks, or simply bone stress can help if forensic scientists see a certain feature (i.e, a fracture line). The skull is probably the most important out of all the bones for identification. The skull can clearly show scientists what gender, age, ethnicity the person was. Even an untrained person can tell if they know what to look for. For example, males have a sharper brow and squarer jaw, while females have more rounded skulls. Teeth can help - especially if the scientist has access to dental records. The number and type of teeth in someone's mouth can tell you their approximate age and daily diet. There was probably a lot of peripheral information in here, but I hope this helped!

What is the tooth edge of a comb?
The 'teeth' of a comb are the spikes that glide through your hair when you use it. These teeth are fixed into the back of the comb which is rigid and keeps the comb straight. The 'tooth edge' of the comb is therefore the edge of the comb where all the teeth are separate and rough when you feel it - opposite to the back of the comb which is smooth. If you run your thumb nail down the tooth edge of a come all the teeth will make a 'plinking' sound.

Why do forensic scientists use microscopes?
Forensic scientists use microscopes to examine trace evidence such as hair, fiber, glass, or soil found at crime scenes.

This detailed analysis can provide valuable information in criminal investigations.
