hi, i'm actually a MSc forensic science student (soon to be doing my post grad medical degree).. i hope this helps you:

ok, as you probably know, electron microscopes offer an image resolution up to about 200 times better than light microscopes... in TEM's the electron beam passes through the specimen, where as SEM the beam scans across the specimen....

it can be coupled with energy dispersive x ray detection to characterise glass, paint fragments and gunshot residue and can also help discriminate between different soil samples and other complex materials like that.

best of luck
