Introduce forensic fiber identification techniques by challenging your students to identify an unknown fiber with this fiber identification kit! Students perform fiber diagnostic tests, such burn tests, stain tests, microscope analysis (and more) to both reference fibers and an unknown fiber. Using the test results as evidence, students can conclusively identify the unknown fiber.
