Assessing the thermal stability of toolmarks casting materials through optical comparison microscopy, virtual comparison microscopy and quantitative similarity scores

Toolmarks, particularly those found on bulky, inaccessible or immovable items, can be recovered by casting. To allow for subsequent comparative examinations, the casting material, typically polysiloxanes or silicones, must be able to capture and preserve fine details within a toolmark accurately. To...
