A Microspectra Analysis Of Synthetic Wig Fibers, Jaclyn R. Beshlian
A Microspectra Analysis Of Synthetic Wig Fibers, Jaclyn R. Beshlian
Student Theses
The goal of this study was to determine whether differentiation between 20 visually similar light brown synthetic wig fibers was possible with the use of a microspectrophotometer (MSP). Visually similar fibers were chosen to display the power of the instrument over the human eye. An MSP is an instrument that has the ability to aid in the analysis of certain microscopical samples. With this particular instrument one is able to collect the absorption and fluorescence spectra of microscopical colored samples without destroying the piece of evidence itself. Prior to any analysis with the MSP, the material of the fibers was …
An Investigation Of Textile Fibers By Means Of Rgb Analysis Of Birefringence, Olivia F. Feild
An Investigation Of Textile Fibers By Means Of Rgb Analysis Of Birefringence, Olivia F. Feild
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Fiber analysis using birefringence has been around for years but has only recently been looked at more closely under a microscope. Recent scientists have proposed methods to correct issues found with fiber analysis using birefringence, yet there has not be a defined perfect method. This research will focus on correcting previously found issues with works by Michel-Lévy and Sorensen's, as well as other scientists involved and perfecting the analysis of fiber through birefringence. The goal will be to take this research one step further into the analysis of textile fibers by RGB value analysis and birefringence. The RGB values will …
