TO THE QUESTION OF AN INTEGRATED RESEARCH OF BIOLOGICAL DAMAGE TO FIBROUS MATERIALS BY THE METHOD OF RASTER ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

Abstract

The article considers the need for a comprehensive study of biological damage to fibrous materials by scanning electron microscopy. The main types and characteristics of fibers and fibrous materials, their types of damage, in particular, biological, and the mechanism of their formation are described. It is shown that with modern methods for studying morphological characteristics, the most effective is the method of scanning electron microscopy, which makes it possible to directly study the object in a wide range of magnifications. The use of scanning electron microscopy makes it possible to identify qualitatively new volumetric microsigns when conducting studies of fibrous materials. Biological damage agents (biofactors) are considered — microbiological (bacteria, microbes, fungi, blue-green algae), phytological (mosses, lichens, higher plants, algae), zoological (insects, birds, mammals). Attention is focused on the study of injuries caused by mold caused by moths, dogs, etc.
 Conducting a comprehensive study of various types of damage to materials of various fibrous nature allows us to obtain an information database, the possibility of differentiating chemical, mechanical, thermal and biological damage, identifying microsigns that individualize one or another object (factor) of action, influence, increasing the potential for obtaining trace information about the actual data and circumstances of the event in those cases when only by external morphological features of the diagnosis It is not possible to repair damage. The data obtained indicate the effectiveness of the chosen research area. The results of the studies are positive for creating the optimal research scheme, methods of microscopic studies of damage to materials of fibrous nature in order to solve diagnostic, identification and situational tasks of forensic examination.
